Hi Everyone,
About a year ago my TEA-20 started spontaneously running rough. At that time I assumed it was temperature related since it was winter time (I live in Canada). When spring came around it seemed to run better. Later on I broke the timing chain and ended up having a professional partially rebuild the engine (machined head, new valve guides, new head gasket, new governor assembly, new camshaft sprocket, timing chain, timing cover). When I started it up it ran like a dream for about a week. Then it started sporadically running rough again... rougher than it was before. It almost seems like it's flooding itself. Gas flow seems to be constant out of the bowl. My mechanic mentioned some indications of arching on the points so I went ahead and changed out the points and condensor (gapped to 0.015") and installed a new coil. The wires on the distributor were changed out last year.
It's still running rough so I recorded it running https://drive.google.com/file/d/10D4GI668AYV5jiSSi9kZesVEPHxYVNjH/view?usp=sharing . I'm not sure where I should go from here. There is some slop in the distributor but I wasn't sure if this would cause my issue.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreaciated!
Thanks,
Julian
