Can’t figure out why my motor only runs when it wants too. Yesterday I did the points. Condenser, spark plugs & coil. Couldn’t get it to start until I sprayed enough Ether down the barrel, then got it to idle for 20 minuets and then adjusted the carb. Shut it off a couple times and it turned on fine...... so then I took it to the gas station and then I could get it to start. A few sprays of Ether and she started back up again.

Now this morning, I tried starting it, and got nothing again.

Can anyone shine some light that has knowledge on these motors, I’m learning as I go.
