Deception at Year's end

I wanted the T250 to start today, good thing for the last thing of this year.. BUT the little bugger doesn't want to....

All I get is a firecracker type of noise from the RH exhaust, like back firing but real sharp... After noticing my plugs were long reach (instead of short ) and resetting the points, still nothing.

I've got sparks galore (at plugs), gas and oil, reset carbs, new plug caps and a Known Good Set of Plugs...

I see one of my points (LH) doesn't spark when opening... Am I in for a new set of condensors?

And what would be today's equivalent of a NGK B-77 plug? Currently having a set of B9HS.

Bummer.

GEtting there

Motor all back together and in the frame. Looking Good.

All set & ready to go.

PM was really quick with the replacement pistons. Arrived today. Will slap them on tonight.
