Hi Tom, I originally had my timing at 8+BTDC, but I was worried about knock and such, so I dropped it back to about 6.5, but you can see that when I did the test, at 1,000 RPM it's really 5.5, lower than I intended.
I started a youtube channel with a video that shows the distributor, weights, springs. Be the first to subscribe! Haha. Video at the end.
Here's the video.
250 Video with DistributorI've got a set of the springs on order, will see what the lightest one yields.
It could be the carb still isn't set right, but given the fact that the timing isn't where it should be, that could be making a difference.
I've got the spare electronic ignition distributor from the spare 250 engine. But the connectors are all different, so I'm not going to put that in to see how it does. I have the original points distributor, I could always try that. :-)
Of course, it could just be my expectations are set too high, but she really kicks it when the RPMs are high.
