Thanks for asking.......I'm doing well. Haven't been doing much in the shop (so no posting), just rid'in and taking it easy. I check-in regularly, but don't often log-in. Stay safe guys!

That's Two

Sorry; no pics, but the positive lead plugs into the points wire(along with the negative lead from the coils: orange or grey wire). The can itself bolts to the frame and grounds the condenser.

Even though the fork seal may fit, I'd be worried it was not designed to live in the environment of the starter (rotating shaft).

Slide: 2.5. PJ: 22.5 to 25. NJ: Series 159, P-5 or P-6. Needle: 6F9. MJ: 180 to 190. Main Air Jet: Remove.

First guess would be that the signals aren't getting a good ground

Russian radio broadcast in DC??....I wondered where MTG and colleagues were gettin' their news: explains a lot:rolleyes:

I still think your symptom indicates the carbs are not cleaned and still clogged-up; not a problem of jet size

The jet in the intake bell is the main air jet that is a small round type main and feeds the pilot circuit. I usually don't change that jet. The main jet on the BS34 is a large round jet that screws into the bottom of the needle jet - that jet is 132.5 stock and often needs to be ~137.5 with...

I'd reckon you'd be in the ballpark of 45 on the pilot and 137.5-140 on the main given the stock needle and needle jet. The current choke/popping symptom is probably caused by clogged passages from gum

BTW, your powder job on the rocker box looked good; so you got the coating and curing procedure right, it was just insufficient prep that caused the problem....try again and good luck
