I'd say there is something drastically wrong with yours. Start with the basics. timing, points, plugs, carby. Alright, sparkplugs I can do! With timing are there any tests I can do beyond just inspecting the belts? Hate to be a total beginner, but does anyone have detailed information on points? No...

Obviously with such a small engine I'm not expecting that much, but I'm thinking that mine might be a bit lackluster.
