Timing Issue

[Zeusimo]

So A While Back I Had Dual Points Dizzy

The Timing Would Always Jump Up And Down 2-3 Degrees

 

So I Switched To Reluctor Style EI Dizzy

I Set Base Timing To 10BTDC At 800RPM

Off Idle Timing Drops 5-10 Degrees Before It Starts Climbing

From A Stop Sign It Feels Like My Accel Pump Is Bad

One Of My Friends Was Saying That The Weights Could Cause This

I Did Take It Apart To Clean Everything And Regrease

Could The Weights Be Put In Backwards By Accident?

Or Do I Need A New Dizzy..?

[datzenmike]

No.

 

What EI module is on the side. E12-80?

[Zeusimo]

Remote Box Underneath Dash

From A 75 710

[datzenmike]

Ah... remote igniter. Only in California.

 

Check your base timing and then pull the vacuum advance hose off. See what happens.

[Zeusimo]

This Happens With Vaccum Hose Plugged

Havn't Checked With It On

 

But Today It Stopped Accelertating Over 1500RPM Under Load

Revs Upto 2K In Neutral

It I Gas It It Will Rev To 6K

Idk If This Is Another Dizzy Problem Or The Primary Barrel Carb

What is supposed to happen?

[datzenmike]

Well if the timing drops back in the retarded direction then vacuum is leaking into the advance and screwing it up. There should be no vacuum advance at idle. Perhaps the idle is set too high.

is or was the dizzy pointeing directly at #1 plg wire when installed? and timming plate close to the center. Not cranked to one side?

 

carb cable set correctly using a extra soft return spring? not jamming up.

 

float set ok. Im only guessing now
