Hi rks That was my thought as well, that the crank sprocket would be like the sprocket on the cam; with the more pointed teeth. The miss could be electrical. I am using new CDI, COIL, PLUG. It is somewhat strange because if you keep feathering the throttle on it, eventually it clears up and can run WOT or near WOT with no miss. I have not been able to pinpoint the problem (fuel delivery or electrical) as the engine has been doing this ever since I got it running. It was starting right up but with a noticeable miss at idle and at mid throttle, it would bog (not die), and miss. It did not backfire until I installed a new performance muffler here recently. I have checked the tightness of the coil wire and plug boot. I will unscrew it and check it again however.
Carb is new and clean, stator is new, coil and plug cap are new. Plug is new. Head gasket is new. Cylinder gasket is also new. So, I am currently stumped as to what the CAUSE is...but you may be right about the intermittent electrical problem. ALL THE Ground wires I have found are tight, clean, and secure. Any other ideas??
As far as electrical problems go, there WAS no voltage to the fuel enricher (when running), or the horn. I do not think the enricher is really needed down here, and I have plugged off the enricher port on the carb.
