Hello, I have a 62 Fastwin mounted on a silly small boat called a Water Wasp (1972). I had it running poorly the other day, and during the whole process I stupidly tipped the thing over. It was upside down for about two minutes. I have since removed plugs and pulled the engine through gently and cleaned the fuel system. It's not interested in firing now, even with a little coaxing from starting fluid, so I'm assuming I've messed up the ignition system. I'm guessing this has points, and they're hidden below the flywheel. Is that right, and if so is there any trick to accessing them? And what should I do when I get there?
Are there more things I should do to try and make this run again?
On a second note, before tipping it over I couldn't get it to run well at low rpms. That's not a huge surprise, as when I did a quick carb rebuild I noticed the low speed needle had a nice little bend near the tip. Can I straighten it accurately, or can I buy a new needle, or can I even buy a new or rebuilt carb somewhere?
Thanks a ton for all your help!
