Re: What's wrong? Never thought I'd have to ask!
OK Guys! I wasn't evading replying to your many, well thought out and experienced solutions. I've had a lot of distractions in the last week. But here goes, I did change the dist. "Body" part of the cap and it runs a lot better, not perfect! But a lot better! Most of the missing (Not all) is gone, it's almost a pleasure to drive now. I had it out this AM and it reached 55-60 with no problem. won't idle properly though. This engine has a "head" on it and the timing "sweet spot" is quite a bit less advance than with the stock head. I can't give it to you in degrees, but I have to move the lever about 9/16ths ( at the quadrant) off the zero mark. I'm still hearing what I think is a ping or a knock or preignition . My ears fail me! I cannot say for sure what it is. The timing appeared correct. But it's running!
I had a guy follow me into the gas station where I buy my morning coffee, today to tell me that the brakes lights aren't working. So something else to delve into!
