If any ones interested I found this http://saginaw.craigslist.org/spo/2559096842.html

All right you convinced me to rebuild first if I can figure out how to get the clutch off I'm tearing it down lol but I do have one question the kit I have has no gasket in between the crank cases upper and lower is one there or do you rtv it ?

I have a whole engine gasket kit but I want to make sure it runs some what decent before I tear it down .I do not want to change to many things at once and not be able to track a problem if I have one . Which seems to be happening a lot with this engine lol :bonk: sad thing is the sled it came out o...

At 5 bucks I think ill just replace condensors while I have it apart but the wires appear to ne part of the coils not sure they may be after market ones or some thing . What is good compression for a 440?

Didn't get the compression tester on it last night but I did find that it sends enough juice to light my light but dose not have enough to fire the plug. Would that be a coil issue or should I check the points again ?

Compression I will have to check but it dose feel like good compression when you pull rope ill throw the tester on it and see what the # are

As of right now I'm just looking for the parts to make it electric start sick of pull the rope lol

Yes they are new plugs but they are champion plugs and it ran be it poorly before I cleaned the points but the pto side flooded that's why I cleaned them and your probably right its most likely some thing simple that I just keep over looking.

I did try swapping leads and was still not getting it to fire . Is there a way to test the coils with an ohm meter or some thing

Looking for starter and piggy back wiring harness for a 72 500 a. It has a 440 ccw engine not sure if that matters it not

I used electomotive spray after I filed them should I tear it back apart and clean with the other sprays instead ?

Ok I messed with it more and according to a light I'm getting both plugs to fire yet the engine will not even attempt to run now its getting gas because after a while of pulling the plugs get wet (i so need to find a starter and the wiring harness that plugs in to the main harness ) so I'm kinda los...

Thanks didn't even think of swapping the leads ill give that a try after work

So u finally get the carb rebuilt and now I'm getting no spark on the pto side other cylinder clean as whistle but gas just flows from pto cylinder :( it is a 72 so it has points they look like it just rolled off the assembly line in there but I took a file to them any ways and the gap is good .I th...

Walbro said its for carb but those parts are no longer available but I did just find a diaphram kit on eBay ended up buying it just for the 1 gasket but its better than having to scrap the carb
On a side note walbro says the kit is for every w series except wda-1
