M with a variable miss

Posted by BTD on June 18, 2002 at 08:16:07 from (198.36.89.12):

My '44 M is tasking my knowledge on what to do to make her run smooth. She has for some time been running with a not too regular popping sound, seems like a backfire since it gives me a good 'klang!' from the weather cap on the muffler. So far I have put on new steel core wires, Champ. D21 plugs (she gets fairly light duty), a new coil, and ran some fuel system cleaner through her. I have also done a lot of fiddleing with the carb and adjusted the valves to .020 cold clearance. Nothing seems to help. It is time to bit the bullet and pull the head to get a direct view of what is going on? I've thought about the cap and rotor, but wouldn't a problem there make a regular miss instead of whenever miss? I've never put a head back on after pulling it so this is territory I'd rather not travel unless totally necessary. I'm rebuilding an H and had intended that engine to be my classroom on head, headgasket, and torque. Thanks for any and all info! -BTD
