Now get back in the garage and get that sweet ride sorted so we can go for a run
Been back for a week and a half already and just had to hit the ground running, pretty hectic at work and home with the start of the new year. A new routine too, with my middle daughter joining my son at high school, where is the time going?!!!!
Imvubu is still in the critical care unit and I still need to sort out her valve cover oil leaks. My biggest concern though is the total bog down under acceleration, hopefully I can spend some time this weekend identifying the cause. Ericheath mentioned the vacuum advance but I don't think it's that. I made sure to clean and test the unit when I I was busy with the rebuild and I also fitted a new vacuum hose. A timing advance failure would certainly cause poor acceleration, or at least a hesitation, but I have absolutely no power over 4000 rpm. I still need to sync the carbs so I can't rule that out yet. However I think my bench sync was pretty close and she certainly starts and runs at lower revs very sweetly.
I first want to double check my work on the motor. Valve timing, plugs, valve clearances, run a compression test,etc, etc this weekend just to rule out the basics. Although the ignition is electronic I think I might also need to check the spark timing. Wish me luck
