Is that an original tiller for that motor? I don’t think I’ve ever even seen a tiller 40 of that vintage before. Very sick motor, man. Looks good and damn does that cowl help with the volume. Nice set up!
both the spark advance and cam rollers need to be repaired or replaced. gotta know what the original outer diameter was i believe the cam roller is 5/8. it idles horribly inconsistent, low and on 1 cyl sounds like to me! very clean motor. squirt premix into each carb throat see if its fuel or ignition. cheers.
You need to do a cylinder drop test on that bad boy (pull one plug wire at a time & compare how it reacts at idle) .....One cylinder sounds weak to me.
@@glensims7959 I had done a compression test and was 145 psi per cylinder, when I had the carbs off the reeds looked great so not sure but it seemed it could run a lil better
@@haneysgarage2631 While idling, pull one spark plug lead off momentarily for a few seconds. Then do the same with the other spark plug lead. Compare how the engine reacts to dropping each cylinder. It should stay running regardless of which plug wire is removed.
looks new !!!!!!!! you got lucky!!!!!!!!

Sounds like it isnt running 100 percent on 2 cyls
@@tomhart8251 I agree I going to go through the carbs again and possibly replace the roller cam
Sputtering doesn’t sound right. Mine did this and would not go over 3000 rpm
