One embarrasing moment as a tech.....
I had finished building the engine for my 72 bus (yes, David, the only type 4 engine i have ever personally owned).... installed the engine, would not start, checked everything, over and over, found that i had forgotten to set the points gap, they were never even opening......duh.
Ahhh, the power of the ignition points....
:lol:
I have seen a lot of people chase what they thought was a bad carb. due to backfiring, and all along they just had a burned set of points.
