i FINALLY got around to re-timing my 1954 235 stovebolt after the valve adjustment, and now it sorta sputters when at idle. (before i retimed it it was firing at top dead at idle. , ive since fixed this) the manual says to play with the idle speed and fuel mixture screw to equalize it.
now after about 40 minutes of fiddling with it, i got it to somewhat silence up (it would sputter once every 40 seconds or so) and i went back to adjust the mixture to try and get it better (which it wasnt doing at all) and i didnt notice but i screwed the idle mixture screw all the way in and the engine speed remained unchanged. is there a chance something got blocked? or was it because i had just noticed the gas can going empty. idk, it was a weird issue and ill see if fresh gas fixes it. feel free to discuss.. and one more thing, i do need a bit of advice for setting the idle mixture so it doesnt sputter and pop.
