[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 634923, member: 20098"] I’m no expert, but the fact that your revs pretty much don’t react (increase) when opening the carb suggests something is off, but it is running, so I guess that is part of the battle! Do you have a timing gun - I would suggest getting that checked out if you’re unsure of the timing light method. Whilst it would be better to check the max advance, I don’t think you’ll be able to achieve that yet whilst it is running rough, but getting an idle reading might be a good starting point. When checking max advance I believe this needs to be done whilst the vac line is removed from the dizzy and plugged in the engine side. Have you tried rotating the dizzy whilst the engine is running to see if that makes any difference one way or the other? [/QUOTE]
