Subject: [tcb] Engine missing
It's not really "missing", I know where it is. Newly rebuilt for the 2nd time
and installed in the back of my bus. 1600 singleport with dual vac adv dist
and a new Solex 30 pic.
I was hoping to get it running in time for the Nac show yesterday but it is
only running on #3 and #1. When I lift each wire from the cap while running
they all have good spark. #4 and #2 make no change to the idle when taken off.
I thought I may have installed the dist drive 180 off so I rotated the cap 180
(really just moved the wires, but you get the point). Results- it runs on #4
and #2 only. I double check TDC at #1 cylinder and it appears that the Dist
drive was set correctly. Also it runs best at maybe 25 degrees advance.
Any ideas? Anyone wanna come over to Kingwood and take a look today? (Free
beer).

P.S.- check out the resurrection of our bus on my face book page- shoot a
friend request to "Todd Prigmore".
