New guy with questions.

I found the problem. Too much timing advance.

I installed a Nu-Rex timing tab so I could check the timing with a timing light.

Turns out I had 5 degrees BTDC initial with the spark lever all the way up.
When the lever was pulled all the way down it went to over 35 degrees BTDC.

Adjusted the points cam around, to top the timing out at 20 degrees..
Much better!


I don't know why the dist plate is able to move so far? (35 degrees).

Thanks to all that responded.
