I have been trying to get my super m dialed in correctly. It has a new electronic ignition installed and I timed to have the rotor centered on the #1 plug at TDC. TDC was found by putting my finger over the #1 cylinder and spinning until i felt air come out and the pointer on the crank lined up with the line. I checked to make sure the rotor would snap back for the advance and that seems to be ok. This is my first time timing something that had the distributor off, and i had to put the distributor drive shaft back in the distributor so i wasn't sure if it was set correctly. I also noticed I cannot spin my distributor like i could on my H. I'm not sure if the pump doesn't allow it or what, but i tried tapping it with a rubber mallet and it won't move unless i take the bottom bolt out but that obviously won't let it rotate correctly. It takes a couple revolutions before she fires off but it does start and idle. I messed with the new rebuilt carb and smoothed out most of the idle for now, at least enough to get it to idle for however long I want.
I think my carb is still out of adjustment, If i pull the throttle back quickly it stumbles, blows a ton of black and then eventually gets up to speed. But it will not take off in 5th gear on flat ground and it will sputter and then it will pop and a flame will shoot out of the stack. I checked for leaks around the carb and i don't see anything, and the air cleaner has new oil in it.
I need to get some propane and go around the carb to better see if i do have leak i know that, but i think i just need to adjust my fuel screw on the bottom more. Am I on the right track or do i need to take the distributor back off and do timing?
