Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines dist vac advance

cruiserman-- Do you have any idle problems with your engine? I had my 250 at 4* and she didn't want to idle at all. I usually had to keep her choked for about 5 minutes before I could un-choke her and she would idle without cutting off. My timing is between 8*-9* right now, and I just choke her to start and leave it for about 5 seconds then un-choke. I was told (and read) that 8* works well with the chevy sixes. I agree with inlineidiot about checking out the dizzy, and making sure everything is in good working order. Hope this helps some. John.
