Thanks for the info... this is definitely an advance mechanism on this
carb.. Now, how do I tell where 13 BTDC is? <g> I do have a cam degree
wheel somewhere, I guess I could just mark the pulley 13 degrees off the
dimple.
Any tips on improving cold start would be welcome, too. My guess is fuel
is evaporating from the float bowls and it takes time for the mechanical
pump to fill them (compared with the MG where the electrical pump fills
them before you start cranking... but it could be other factors.
