The mech. advance wasn't working at first, but after letting the oil soak down through the wick it freed up. I have hooked the advance up to the vacuum port on the carb, and there is another on the manifold, but I blocked that one up, so it doesn't suck air. > In that case there should have been a pipe brazed to the underside of the > breather box that ran down to the oil filler pipe.

I will have a look at the oil filler and see if there is anything there. > Nice goin'. That must have been quite hard to find! Yes, it was!
