ok, first time trying to start the 360, I replaced the points, reset them to the correct dwell and timing. replaced the starter clutch that was fried, cleaned out the oil filter, resealed the cases and all that junk...
compression is running around 150 each cylinder
now trying to start it, it doesn't want to crank over much... the starter motor just cranks slowly and gets hot pretty quickly... the kick start works, but i couldn't get it to fire. I hotwired the coils to the positive and checked the points for ground, and all was good... so i should be getting spark, but i haven't pulled a plug to check
question 1: is that a symptom of a fried starter motor?
question 2: should i try some starter fluid? i never dug into the carbs at all, the po said he had it buzzing up and down his street only a week earlier
