Since rebuilding the engine about this time last year I have had issues with
the idle. Recently Vance had a post about how to verify that the cam timing
was correct. I did the check and found that 11 and 12 rockers were not even. By
rocking the crank 16 degrees clockwise I could get them even with 1 and 2
closed. Called Vance, he agreed that I was probably off one tooth on the cam
gear.
Corrected that. Reset cam drive gear to Bentley specs. I am running 9.5to 1
CR. Premium gas . 400 ft above sealevel, no anti-run valve, 150 PI cam, Good's
1.65to 1 rockers. As to the spark exchange I don't hear arcing but the leading
tip of the rotor is a bit discolored and the posts in the cap are a bit
burnt. I am going to try your suggestion on shortening the spring on the
retard
capsule. I need a small tap as I am going to install a set screw to make it
adjustable. Sorry about the long tirade last night. I was really frustrated at
not
making any headway. GeeZ-I hope this just isn't due to some bad petrol.
Thanks All
