Just had to crow a little... Today I finally got my Willy's engine tuned better and at long last running smoothly. Ignition issues finally sorted out. Took a ride around the neighborhood and I'm a happy camper. laugh

Glad to hear you got it sorted out. What was the biggest problem that you had? Jay 6155

Biggest problem? Eventually turned out to be ignition, although I spent quite a bit of time going through carb/intake (both new) chasing what I thought was a vacuum issue causing a rough idle. All said and done, it was ignition. I finally put another new distributor cap and rotor and it immediately started running smoother. Vacuum at idle came right up to 18. In the mean time I got the choke/ fast idle on the new Weber working correctly along with a few other loose ends tidied up.

I did go around my elbow to get to my thumb, so to speak, but I'm really pleased with the result, finally.

Way to Go! Easy part...Compression, fuel, fire. Getting it all there at the right time and the right amounts is what makes us so much fun to be around. laugh
