Re: camshaft (Long)
Check the timing cover isn't a B. It's more advanced.

Re: camshaft (Long)
These things can be fitted under the valve cover. No manual advance needed then.

Re: camshaft (Long)
Have you checked for a vacuum leak?

Re: camshaft (Long)
Post 28 & 29. Check Bratton's oil pump distributor drive gear sleeve. Mine would not come out with out removing that top shaft about 1" or so long.

Re: camshaft (Long)
I'm not sure of you look in the side cover [ light and maybe a mirror ] to see the plunger.

Re: camshaft (Long)
This all is giving me a head ache so I want return that. Ponder how my 8 cycle hit and miss engines work. Maybe start an O.T. thread with your chosen name.

Re: camshaft (Long)
You have an Aermotor water pump !? Thats a rare monster. There is one in this area. Never have been able spend enough time to figure out how the thing works.

Re: camshaft (Long)
John,
You have stated several times that you think this is an ignition issue. The only thing that I can think of that would give you the response with your advance lever is that the engine is too advanced or becomes too advanced. Check the plunger in the front. It is not too hard to do. But before that try a timing light. You can just put a mark with a bit of paint on the front pulley at 12:00 at TDC. You don't even need a pointer or you can just jury rig something up. Nothing like data to help understand what is wrong. It will be easy to see if the timing is 25 degrees advanced or 50 degrees. You don't need exact numbers for this first test. Or if you want to be more exact, put another mark 25 degrees advanced of the 12:00 position (12:50). With a 25 degree advance (close to ideal) the mark for TDC at 12:00 will be at 11:10. To be on the safe side you can take the fan belt off for the test.

Re: camshaft (Long)
Regarding a hit and miss engine. The intake valve is opened by the suction in the cylinder against a weak spring. When the flyball governor senses that the engine is running too fast, it will open the exhaust valve and turn off the magneto. The engine coasts with air being sucked in and pushed out with the open exhaust valve. The intake valve will not open because there is not enough suction. When the flyball governor senses that the engine has slowed down it will allow the exhaust valve to close and a fuel/air charge will be sucked into the engine and ignited by the now working magneto. The magneto is not like a modern one but operates by moving a magnet in a linear motion.
Fascinating engines. It seems like they run forever.
