Didn't Make It Home From Carlisle

I just checked it again. The initial is 30* and it advances into the 50's. It is like the balancer is off but the key puts it in the right place. I let it get hot to see if it had trouble starting but it fired right up. I don't hear anything strange when I throttle it up. I'm going to take for a longer ride today.

Just curious... How did the initial timing (w/o vacuum advance connected) get set at 30*? It doesn't run at 5*? If it doesn't, then IMO you have your timing light connected to the wrong wire or your balancer has slipped.

I'm not sure what you mean by "The initial is 30* and it advances into the 50s". Is this at 2600 rpm with vacuum advance disconnected or is this at idle with vacuum advance connected?
