Just a little tune up update. I changed the plugs and gapped them at .020 since that is what the old plugs were set at last weekend. Engine still had a little flutter to it. Today I started with the plug wires, rotor and distributor cap. No change. In the mean time I had two extra sets of plugs. I gapped one set at .015 and then I gapped the other at .025 and I'll get back to that in a minute. So, next take the condensor and points out and replace them. Thought I could eye ball the points back to about where they were......not!!! At that point it got worse as I had the breaking point to far apart. I slid them in a little and much better. I took the .020 guage that came with them and fine tuned the point gap where it needed to be and everything was much better. Which tells me, the old points may have just needed adjusting, so I didn't throw them away.
So, I decided at this point to expiriment with the plugs. I put the .015 gapped plugs in and didn't like that at all. It just ran rough. So I pulled them and put the .025 plugs in. That must have been the sweet spot for this one. Just seemed to put the finishing touch on it in addition the points getting replaced and adjusted properly. I'm sleeping better tonight.
Now got to see if I got a fuel leak somewhere when this thing is running. May not as I'm not familiar with how much of a gas hog these things are. For example, when I got it home little over a week ago, it had 95 percent in the tank. I've run it up and down the road a few times and been running around in the pasture several times. I cranked it up several times last weekend while fooling with the plugs and a few times today. I'm now down to 45 percent. I hate to see what it's going to do when I hook it up to a 7 ft bushog.
It does not leak anything with it shut off and all the valves are closed of course.
