two questions, one about dizzy and one about tires Options

[bd1308]

1: Is it unheard of to have a stretched-out advance spring, so when the mechanical advance is full-out, the weights contact the case? I think this is the rattle metal sound I hear.

2: I have Falken ZE-502 tires...they recommend a 44PSI pressure when cold, but the sidewall sways.....

can i run a higher pressure, and what is that recommendation?

There are usually stops in place to prevent the weights from moving "too far".

Useful tire pressure is related (among many other factors) to load. A 3000lb car with four fat people in it will require a higher pressure than a 2000lb car with one beanpole driving. The pressure on the sidewall is pressure for maximum rated load. 44psi sounds very high to me, but I've not used Falkens, so I can't say if that's too high.
