I will check the voltage this morning when I go try to start it, who knows maybe I will get lucky and it will start right up...ha-ha. As a side note, yesterday after messing around with the dizzy and getting it started I took it on about a 200 mile round trip and it ran perfect the entire time. If I can just get past this starting when cold thing I will have it made.

Do you have a Single or Dual diaphragm vacuum advance. The Dual has an advance And retard diaphragm, my guess is if you have the Dual diaphragm, the retard is not working.

The dual should have two "ridges" going around it. The single, one.
