Dont you love it when you help a guy in a thread, never listens and fights the issue for weeks then figured out it is what you said. I just walk away now.
I quit giving advice a long time ago. Those guys that ask for the easy solutions and dont understand the basics.
There was a guy on youtube,couldnt figure out points. Bought some chinee pertronics style, dropped distributor in, timing off and couldnt get it running. Its not like changing a light bulb. There were like 50 viewers explaining the same thing,#1 tdc and he ignored every one of them. This was a 4 cyl tractor.
