Message: [QUOTE="weimedog, post: 96545, member: 20655"] Ditto Oregon trail. I have a 1982 XC430 that has had spells of hard starting. The petcock leaks a bit filling the motor if left for a long time. I just disconnect the fuel line now if its going to sit for more than a week. I also rejetted the thing using the old technic of putting in a over sized main and getting the pilot right first, the needle and slide right second, and then dropping the main until it was right. That helped a lot. But I still think that old ignition system is marginal. Mine starts pretty easy now. But when I look at the spark, its a thin blue spark, not the fat blue spark I would like to see....and my bet is many of those old Husky's would be well served with a new aftermarket ignition.
