Couple of degrees? Nope it would still start.
Uhhhm....check for a bad/misaligned gasket, causing a massive vacuum leak?

Before you pulled the dizzy did you note which cylinder the rotor was pointing to? Or did you just blindly pull it/restab it?

ok i think i figured it out, i tried to start it with a weak battery, and so i flooded it and then so yesterday i get it to start and it starts right up with a jump runs rough but then i took it for a drive after i changed the spindle and then the motor just goes wide open, when i get it home the intake was leakin again, but i look at it today and i see i guess i cracked the intake so now im SOL and i think the carb is about to take a **** so, does anyone have an Intake/Carb for cheap or know of an aftermarket kit that is cheap that will work on it, i only need it to last about 4 months(brothers going to the marines)
