Finished a 49 bobber yesterday and kicked it for two hours and all I could get was a hit on one cylinder no matter what I did. Since I built the motor from scratch, I mean STD cases, I rebuilt and trued the crank assembly with new bearings etc, wiesco pistons, sifton oil pump, auto advance timer, all from v-twin except the heads and crank so I figured I did something wrong, hmmm,, compression/spark/fuel.12.6 volts at the battery also. what more did I need? Turns out I set the point gap using the small lobe(front cylinder) and that cylinder was indeed firing. Turned the shaft to check the wide lobe and had enough gap to drive a car through

. set the points to the rear lobe and two prime kicks with the key off and choke on and one with key on and choke off and viola, She not only started it ran perfect and ided down like it had been together for years. I will never set point gap to the front lobe only again.
