76 XLCH1000 mech points. Did have a bent mix screw in S&S Super E. Replaced it and did about 1 1/3 turn and got it to idle smooth & consistent.
Next day started on 2nd kick, no issues. Idle and ran fine.
Since, can't get her to fire at all. Except now and then you'll hear a small BF through the carb and that's about it.
Starter is long dead so kicking is the only option.
Started taking a look. Replaced plugs, confirmed spark checked points, fuel shoots fine, etc. Can't figure what it could be to take this from running great to not at all now.
Only possibility I just found out about is maybe the "pin" sheared that holds the points assembly? Can't find a lot of details. Anyone got a pic or any advice for me to try?
Thanks.
