Looking for a sanity check. Tractor starts up great and runs around great but the higher RPM is off. Timing/Carb or both.
Checked timing on my tractor from previous owner, and at idle i am seeing 24* and once going up slowly to max RPM timing is all over the place. I marked the 4* and 24* lines on the flywheel but the timing is unstable enough for me to see anything useful. Assuming weights could be stuck?
After finding TDC on compression stroke and turning the fly wheel to 0* I noticed that the rotor and cap on #1 do not line up.. I need to go back and verify here in a bit, but I ("think") once I get to the 24* mark the cap and rotor lined up.. I see some manuals saying to turn fly wheel to 4* and stab distributor and another saying to turn flywheel to max timing at 24* and then stab the distributor.
Here are some pics for reference and appreciate any advise in advance!
Red asterisk is where number 1 nipple on cap lays once clamped down at the 0* mark on flywheel.
