[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 623718, member: 20098"] Just to confirm with the timing (as you really do want to be sure this is correct before checking other things), you did remove and cap the vac advance when setting the max advance? A good way to confirm the notches on your crank pulley (and you only have to do this once, or if you ever got a different pulley) is to align to number 1 piston firing with the pulley mark lines up with the split in the case, and then lower a sturdy wooden skewer into the spark plug hole so that it is touching the top of the piston. When you rotate the engine slightly back and forth either side of the mark, the piston should be at the point where it is changing direction, not continuing to go in either up or down.
