first power up after timing chain replacement,
tach/dwell meter as well as timing light are old sears i bought on ebay.
start up and let run 3 or 4 minutes. no leaks.
turn off, hook up tack and start back up, (breather is off if matters) rpm reading of 500, sounds steady, turn off, pull vacuum line at dizzy and hook up timing light. start back, light slowly on/off so i assume the 500 is a good reading. look at timing mark and dead on the 8 mark. give gas to 800 rpm by tack, mark still on, advance rpm to approx 1100 and timing mark no longer at the 8. sake of argument i would say approx half inch past the 8 degree, but steady not waving. i did inspect balancer when it was off, no indication of it not being good.
i am low on gas, so no plan on driving around block til weekend,
i dont want to just start adjusting things without good reason. i am surprised my motor is as smooth as it is at the 500 rpm , and that is assuming tack is correct.
any input?
thanks bgk
