Hi,
Picked up a Husky 18rl, its from the late 80's and is in almost brand new condition, it has the smallest engine ive seen on a brushy only 18cc and weighs nothing. Anyhow, it has the old points and condensor. the thing is that it has no adjustment re timing, i can move the points closer or further away from the crankshaft, but not advance or retract the timing. the points open up just before TDC (Top Dead Centre). It sounds like it might be knocking at idle but runs really smooth and accelerates well??? It has the three magnet flywheel -Does this control when the spark is released to the plug as well??... confused as hell?? Ive tuned 2 strokes (the old pre 80's victas) and 4 strokes before but this ones got me beat. Is it suppost to run like this? Is pretty much brand new and everything is in new conditon, plenty of spark, compression, carby kit, flywheel pin is fine... Ive also been told that the aftermarket ignition modules wont work onthe old brushies cos of the 3 magnet flywheel.....and info will help
PS -im not taking it to a dealer lol
