Picture Attachments Fixed? (18 Feb 2023)
Hopefully, the pictures uploads are fixed for the time being. Let me know if you continue to have issues. I am looking into a more permanent solution. Thanks for your patience. - Makotosun

Did you set point gap with point rubbing block on high spot of cam? That's a separate adjustment on that model and is done first.

Something looks very bent--crank, or is the advancer not seated. Has a locating tang i think. If the cranks bent out of line then the brushes will be doing a merry dance as it spins. If its as bad as it looks then brush bounce should be easy to see if the comutator is ok & not rediculously worn out of round.
One more random thought. Is it a home-made crank key that's too tall & cocking the armature & making it gyrate. I slowed the video down to .25 speed & cam is following around the outside of the hole it sits through. I know it's a cam but looking past where the cam shape finishes to the edge which should be pretty true spining.-& it aint. If its the crank bent then you'll have to go 'in'--only way. & if it moved on the crank pin--then why--as are a very tight press fit.

At least in this downtime I've been able to make my front and rear brakes just around perfect, went through and cleaned out all the electronics, among just a bunch of cosmetics. It's close, sooooooo close to running

It was out of wack and I got it down to what I thought was pretty little movement anywhere on it... then again this was all done on 2 nails, not some fancy machine or anything.
Due to the fact I've torn the engine apart 3 times due to this crank just leads me to believe its something messed up with the crank yet again, causing the dent that would usually cause the gap in the points to be thrown off, thus changing the timing wayyyy off to where I cant even adjust it. I really hope I'm wrong as at this point splitting the cases is getting pretty old and becoming a chore haha.
