I understood that but was thinking on a one way track with only what I needed. Thanks for clarifying though I probably would have questioned it later .

So now I got the thing running. When I get it started I have to keep my foot on the gas slightly to keep it running. I adjusted the idle screw so its as far as it gos and still the same. Also When I step on the gas no matter how far I go down it dosnt seem to pick up RPM's to much evan with it at the floor it just sits around maybe say 3 thousand RPM's possibly less.
I noticed my distributer has oil in it, just enough to coat somethings but the cap had oil on one of the metal prongs. I wiped it off but noticed there again later. Can I assume that maybe the this is not allowing me to get a good spark to raise RPM's. Also I am sure I am getting enough fuel, it will actually mist it out of the carb like its all not getting burned. Or then again my timing could still be off slightly, I havnt had a second set of hands to help yet
