Hi everyone,
Well here we go again I think? I've been playing around with the bobcat and been reading up on the proper way to "break-in" the newly rebuilt engine and stuff like that, in doing that I have noticed at idle the engine sounds really good, but when I give her gas it spits a lot? In fact I can't even get the RPM's up hardly at all, I did adjust the carb as much as I could and the spitting is not as bad but it's still there. Hate to bring this up but could my timing be set enough to start it and now just needs some tweaking? What would be the easiest way start from scratch , find TDC and so forth and if that's the case and something off should I back the timing off of 12 to 9 or go from 12 to 3 I guess what I'm asking is back the timing up or advance the timing and then just line up the X on the mag thru the site window and I should be good right? Nothing like old memories huh guys? LOL Scott
