This is pretty much for us old folks that worked on there own cars and motorcycles.
Have you ever seen a motor run 180 degrees out of timing? I had never till today (I started working at my dads' filling station when I was 13) The pump I was talking about in a prior post that didn't run right.
That thing was 180 degrees off top dead center fire. But it did run a week ago yesterday- very badly--missing like crazy--I did everything I could think of---new plugs-new distributor cap----new carb---new plug wires
the whole 9 yards.---nothing helped. So I took it up to top dead center on the #1 plug----looked at the rotor button it was 180 out it was firing on #4 instead of # 1 I switched the distributor to 180 advance----that thing fired up in less than a 1/4 turn and runs like a Singer sewing machine-----I don't know how long or even HOW this thing ran that far out of timing---(Wisconsin VH-4D)---but it did. I use to think I had a problem with string buzz or a temolo set up---but this one makes that look like a kindergarten jig saw puzzle. I am a happy camper today pump that mud---later
