Fellas...here is the update. The range of motion for the rotor went from about 3 degrees to about 20 degrees after cleaning it up and removing the 2 small lock washers that were randomly sitting in the bottom of the dizzy. Look at the picture...with it at 7btdc, the rotor is pointing at about the #2 spark plug which is not right. I pulled the dizzy and reset it to be pointing at the #4 spark plug (2nd picture). Engine starts and idles pretty nice (good oil pressure)...any added throttle makes it sputter/stammer. I have my old carb (that I rebuilt...but replaced with the City Racer carb because I couldn't get the engine to start (a long while back). I'm going to put that original carb back on to see if that makes a difference and will update.
*Note...for others with the same issues...the reason for the backfire was because I had the rotor 180 out from where it needed to be.
**Note 2...I have not installed the new fuel pump yet...trying to do one thing at a time.
