I have played with the timing all day today. The distributor is suppose to be set at 5 degrees above center. That I have. She fires up OK but when I apply power the engine starts missing and at times just stops. The choke is wide open. At idle I can hear the missing of the engine at the tail pipe. I haven't put a timing light on her yet. I've been trying to do the adjustment by ear. Its a simple machine and I just don't understand why all of a sudden I've got this issue.
I had a Carter YF carb on her last year and she was running fine. I switched her carb out for a historically correct one (the W1) just because I want to make her as original as possible. Its just my thing. Anyway its driving me crazy why she turned so bad on me. Loose woman?
The engine, for its age has plenty of power, but something has happened after I switched carbs. Looking for advice as to what I'm over looking.
