Could be sticking open or just hanging up with carbon ?I’m not very experienced in these things yet, but is there a possibility it could have something to do with the compression release not working right?

The compression release is on the exhaust valve, and he says it's spitting through the carb, so no.I’m not very experienced in these things yet, but is there a possibility it could have something to do with the compression release not working right?
Thank You! I just learned something.The compression release is on the exhaust valve, and he says it's spitting through the carb, so no.
Spent all my working years at Dow Jones & Co (The Wall Street Journal). Great environment, worked with people who were smarter than me, I had fun every day. The watchword was KISS or keep it simple stupid. Notice there's no comma in there; we thought things worked best when kept simple and all could benefit. See a similar definition on Wiki.( kiss = Keep It Simple Stupid ) ?
Post # 16 tells you what you should have checked, 60 post later and you had lot of frustration on your part.....Check the points, points arm may have broke, even if they are new. Some aftermarket points have a longer screw that holds the lead in place and hits the points arm when tightened, I ended up filing down the screw. Is the coil wired correctly? + to ign. - for points and condenser. Coil and condenser need good clean grounds. Fuel shutoff should be a screened filter in tank, with no other filter on the fuel line.
Only too easy to understand, though. The eye sees what it expects to see. This becomes a problem in inspection, as well as search-and-rescue type operations. Takes quite a bit of training to overcome. Cheers for him getting it going, though.Post # 16 tells you what you should have checked, 60 post later and you had lot of frustration on your part.....
