[AJD] B timing solved

[Spencer Yost]

You can buy coils separately from the same places that rebuild magnetos and
yes you can get a weak spark from a coil.  However, go ahead and figure a
way to get the truck out and see if pulling it starts it.   That way you
take the impulse coupling out of the equation (if it runs fine, it is the
impulse coupling thwarting your starting efforts and not the coil).   If
pulling it doesn't result in a start, then it is still the coil.

PS:  Remember, if the governor was out of time because the camshaft was out
of time, it still may not start even though you have moved the governor so
the slot was horizontal.
PSS:  You sure you are not flooding it, have restricted gas flow, etc???
