Sounds like timing needs adjustment, also, is it just me, or does it sound "tight" once its warmed up? I have the perfect air cleaner for you Mark....pm me about shipping it to you.
Oh man, I've already got a nice new air cleaner on order. I'll PM you about yours.
The initial timing for the start in this video, set by hand by lining up the pickups in the distributor was off, probably 5 degrees retarded. It's just under 10 advanced now. I haven't tuned the idle mixture yet. Set the screws to 1.25 turns open on the bench. I verified that it has the right jets (51? Can't remember right now).
The engine does feel tight when warm. The starter has a hard time turning it over. I figure the starter is old, the compression is high, and the new engine a bit tight, so I've got a new starter on order too. Hopefully it's not an issue.
Thanks!!
Mark
