The centrifugal advance mechanism is probably stuck & or really sticky & does not work.
Would need to clean it up & reapply grease to the affected components.
A spring & weight kit always helps.

Yeah, I was starting to think that too after reading up on adjusting centrifugal and vacuum advance, and reading how it gets gummed up over time. I guess a little HEI disassembly is in order. I wish I had some cash to to get a new cap and rotor to swap out too. Hopefully Memorial Day weekend will be a windfall, and I can just invest in finishing off the exhaust and ignition updates all at once.
