Re: Starting issue
Remember, that it isn't fuel injected like your late models and it may want a shot of gas when you first start cranking it when it's been sitting for a few minutes.
I've had some with carbs that you hit the key when they are warm and they fire right up, I've had others that you had better hold your tongue in the correct spot in your mouth or so it seems. The 250 in my 48 would fire up without touching the pedal when it was warm and it wasn't bad if you set the choke when it was cold.
Do you have the idle speed set pretty low or is it at the prescribed rpm in the tune up specs? A low idle speed may not give you enough fuel air mix to start when you are cranking it.
I'm going to assume that you have the points adjusted correctly and have the timing adjusted correctly.
