I have a dwell meter. Digital.

replaced my coil awhile back...been having ping problems ever since. far i know its a 12V coil(flaps special) but who knows.
gets real hot.

anyway, i'm meauring dwell....and i can't get a steady reading...jumping all over the place.

my dad sent me a box, had some candy in it and a surprise dizzy (2.0 FI) Yesss!

put it in, the timing is more accurate and more precise, BUT the ping is still there...

took out a idle jet (or maybe air correction jet labeled like 145) and ran carb cleaner through it

put it back in, nothing.

doesn't ping AS bad as before, but it's still there, and i'm still angry...

before a rebuild of the carb (which i might have to do) is there anything else I could check?

can't check dwell=timing off=carb clogged=pinging=anger=more CS stress relieving time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) .....
