My SM started to act funny, it just didn't idle well which is always had. I threw the timing light on it and noticed it was running full advanced at idle.
I figured a broken spring or something like that, this is what I found:
The weights also had groves worn in the face of them as well. I have no idea why it ran so well before, it was a big old mess in there.
Replacement parts from CIH are really pricey, I think I'm going to have to look for a used unit though there some some risk there. The one thing is this distributor has a 22L plate. The PO said the engine had been rebuilt a number of years ago by the guy he got it from and it had more HP now, I'm guessing the distributor was modified at the same time. Not sure how easy it will be to find another 22L or at least a 25L.
