Im struggling with my Whizzer.

You're awfully young to be having Whizzer problems already.

Make a short video of it acting up if you can. That'll help I think

I called ML to see if they had an idea.

Looks like I got it out of wack when I replaced the points cover.

The original owner had the condinsor wire routed outside the motor and attached to the points cover screw...BUT they didn't have it routed through the hole on the motor for that wire. They had drilled out a slot for it on the actual points cover they made for the wire.

So when I bought my points cover, I rerouted it the correct way.....(loosening the set screw in the process and throwing the points out of wack)

Duhhhhhhhh

So now i'm about to reset them correctly and see where I'm at.

Setting the IGN on flywheel to the TM on the block and adjusting the gap at 0.015...

Setting with a light is the way to go, the mark is just ballpark sometimes.

Let us know if you get it going. Also please post some pics.

After I tried what he said now I can't get it running at all.

ahh, the joy's of owning a Whizzer. When they are running good they're marvelous, when they give you trouble, they are a bee-auch!

Okay so stig told me to try .017 gap and that worked.

Got it going again but it won't start as easy as it did before. (Weird)

Once I took it for a ride, I finally got the carb adjusted right for a second and it his a power stoke which it had not done since it started acting up. Really that was what I was trying to get back.

After I killed it I let it cool down and tried to get it going again but it would start which leads me to believe the carb needs to be dialed in more.

What do you mean by setting with a light?
