I have a Fergy that is acting up to say the least. It is running
part time terribly backfiring, coughing, choking and then
quits. The gen/regulator system is out of service so the only
electrics are the starter and battery and ignition. I have
sprayed gas into the back of the carb when running with no
results. There is about 1/16 of an inch slop in the distributor
shaft. This happened a few hours ago and we rotated the
distributor clockwise and it appeared to straighten right up for
a few hours running then back to spitting and quitting. Is it
possible for the distributor shaft to jump and throw the timing
out?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as the
frustration level is at an all time high!
Thank you very much.
