No ballast resistor, I don't know about timing or seeing gas squirting in carb when operating linkage. I saw him start it right up after initital hard start. Has not tried starting fluid yet. Fuel was not real fresh, he did'nt give me a time frame but said not that fresh. I told him to pull the top of the carb off when he gets back from CA. Thats all I have will update when he gets back.

It would be interesting to see if it fires right up with a squirt of starter fluid...

It would also be interesting to see if it kept running after it fired off (if it did fire right off with the starter fluid).

Old gas can be a problem - by old - I mean 4 or 5 months....

Would be sad to chase a problem - only to find out it's just old gas....
