A bad condenser could short out some of the power and make the coil look bad, also if the rubbing block failed on the points they will basically be closed all the time and that will suck down the power to the coil. This is a great learning experience, with the crappy parts out there you will be doing this again in the future.

Don't have it anymore, it electric

Very true but I think he has narrowed it down to a fuel issue. James are you getting spark when it doesn't want to start still?

It start up fine but have to put lot gas to keep running, when let go the gas and it die.

Have you checked the fuel sock in the tank maybe it is clogged and you are not getting enough fluid. An easy way to check this is with a gas can and a section of fuel line. Unhook fuel line from tank to pump. Run the section of fuel line from the gas can to pump and see if it has the same issue.

Have you adjusted the idle speed screw? What happened when you tried what Brian suggested to eliminate the fuel pump as a possible problem?

But when the engine not run, I look inside the carb jet and push gas, the gas did come out of jet fine.

Sounds like your idle jet is clogged. Take the air filter off, start it, while reving it put the palm of your hand of the intake of the carb and seal it, release your hand when it start's to die, repeat till it idles...must have got some junk in your gas tank.

Just clean deep on carb. and it run now but not really smooth running. still need play with adj.. The 30/31 carb. is junk, I guess..

I'm running the h30/31 ... no issues .. You might have got trash in there... Do you have a good inline filter too?

James, if you want to try another 30, let me know. I have one you can have. It needs gone through, I don't know the history of it.
