Thanks Dana, that is the motor setup I got along with
Ken Hunter who was on this list a few years back.  I
guess I got this motor some 3 years ago now.  It sat
in the gayrodge for 1.5 years until my 1.6 na died.
I guess my concern here is, until I get this motor to
start on a 1/2 a crank when it is hot with no Advance
cable to help, I will not feel comfortable that I have
the timing right.  Once I have that worked out, then I
will turn up the fuel 1/8 turn until i get smoke.
I also think it is worth pulling an injector and
getting the part number off the heat shield or
injector nozzle.
Thanks,
