    Pony motor only fires one at a time

    Working with a my D7 17A. I went to move it out of its cover this spring and had a hell of a time getting the pony going. After swaping carbs, plugs, checking valves, points and compression I accidentally knocked a plug wire off and it started right up. Now with both wires hooked up, all...

    Further assessment revealed a cracked braking cone and growling bearings. I went to a blown d7 pony I had for parts and it to had an almost worn through pinnion trust washer. With some used parts and great advice on here, it started under its own power again. Thank you everyone for the help.
