[QUOTE="BJ1, post: 550950, member: 355"] You should not be timing your engine using static timing. Always time with a gun at 28 to 30 degrees BTDC at max advance i.e. around 3000 rpm. That way you know that the engine is correctly timed for when it is doing the most work - cruising at around 55 -60 mph. If you use static timing you won't know if your advance mechanism is working properly so you could well be running the engine at 3000rpm with the timing retarded - giving a hot engine that will die within 1000 miles. Overheating could be the cause of the engine dying at junctions and being hard to start when hot. [/QUOTE]
