My carb'd 2056 (1.8 case/heads, 96mm P/C's, Mallory dizzy) has been running kinda crappy and pinging lately. I found the problem. The distributor clamp was loose and it was running too much advance. Corrected that problem and reset the advance to about 7 degrees at 1000 rpm idle. Much better...
But that leads me to a question for the collective. What do y'all run for initial advanced on your carb'd Type IV motors? Or for the professional types, what do you recommend? |
