You sure you are at 12 BTC, or 12 AFTER TDC?
12 Before.
I've been trying to get you to use total timing, until you get it sorted. ANY engine should run "fair" negating dist. advance curve, at around 35-40 in the context of this type engine.
Yes you have. I finally had some help yesterday to hold the throttle open while I adjusted timing. Good advice.
ARE YOU sure you don't have a crappy wire or two, or bad plug?
Everything but the plug wires are new but I'll check for failures.
I disagree the thread is "getting too long."
PLEASE keep us updated
Will do. Appreciate it.
