Hi,
still working on my dead 35. Having too much trouble wiht the timing. It started and ran briefly, then quit. I think part of the problem is oil fouling- PO had anti foulers on it.
compression is 95 all 4 didnt compare wet vs dry; just happy it was enough that it ought to start
yes spark; new points rotor cap plugs
Carb cleaned, all passages chased with monofilament. idle 7/8 and main 1 1/4. Gas getting to plugs. Running with air cleaner off for starts. havent de-moused that yet.
No run, lots of backfiring out the carb. Brief run with timing all the way retarded.
Pulled the distributor as I suspect it was put in one gear tooth off as the most retarded I could get the timing was 10 BTDC
The advance weights are free and flopping around but the top of the shaft seems fixed to the bottom of the shaft and the advance weights dont advance anything. Its all the way advanced already.
Whats the safest way to disassemble and lubricate?
thanks!
