Can a fiber timing gear loose a couple teeth and the car still run. I went to start my 29AA to go to the Pacific Mo car show Saturday and it would not fire. I cleaned the points off and it started up. When i advanced the spark lever about half way down it would start to run bad. If i pushed the lever up it would smooth out and run better. It seems as if the timing is to far advanced. I checked the timing and it is good. Did not want to remove the timing cover if it could be something else.
Thanks
