Default Re: 295 robin pulsar coil question

Yesterday I cured my ignition problem, I hope! I pulled the cover, took off the fan, everything was coated with a layer of dust that had stuck to the oil film from the crankshaft seal. This dust layer was inside the cover as well. This is a new engine, less than 40 hours, and the seal has stopped leaking I believe. One half can of brake cleaner, All around the pulser area, checked air gap, was around .020, so good there. I added about six inches of wire to the leads from the pulser to make them easier to get to. Put everything back together, it runs great. I had the spark plugs out, connected to leads and grounded, spun the engine while cover was off, great spark after cleaning.
I had read this somewhere before, but that was my problem. Drove it around for about an hour, all is good.
So, if it's oily at all underneath the engine on that side, it's worth a try!!!
