Fellow listers;
Ok I put in all new ignition componets, set the timing,
(sorta) (question on that later). New fuel filter, new gas. And heres the
punch line, I rebuilt the carb. I have a single stromberg 150.
Now I have the dreaded affliction, Fast idle. I did not touch the butterfly
so thats not the problem. The idle adjustment screw is backed out so far its
not touching any thing. I'm going to check the choke setting and choke cable
first, I don't think thats the problem. I need to know a good setting for the
timing. I think I'm running 6 deg btdc, no pinging but some serious run on
after shut down. Also my carb linkage is extremly worn. (The plate with the
ball arrangement for the rod and the Throttle stop lever.) Too worn to punch.
Anyone have a good solution?
Update to follow TIA
