Reply To: Keyway damage on flywheel and timing cam

[David Fallang]

Don’t know. I just picked it up last week. I tested the spark and got strong spark on one lead and weaker spark on the other. The leads were very corroded so I’ll change them. Of course, opening of the points is not an instantaneous event – it follows the outline of the cam. The question is whether the timing could be thrown off enough to affect performance. My guess is that it would not, but I’m not sure.
