Guest Lee81 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Sounds more like fuel pickup issue. Maybe partial blockage. I would double check that timing is correct by establishing TDC with micro gauge. once done you can re mark the crankcase and set timing using strobe. Also ensure vacuum advance is functioning by removing pipe. It should let no air through when a vacuum is applied. Dizzy cap and arm should be checked as said though it would usually result in poor tickover if worn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
