Basic Tuning: HELP!

I'd rebuild the carb first, yes. My point was that there is a very easy way to get it runnign to where you CAN really tune it. But that comes a lot later. After you have a basic understanding of things and after it'a already running semi decently. That's why I said 10°... you dont need an advancing light nor know how to use it. Simply put the mark ont eh baalncer on the 10 before mark and lock it down. It will run and start easy. Then get used to adjusting the carb stuff. Idle speed, then mix, then speed again, then mix again.... Then we'll get into the more advanced stuff. Baby steps....
