Re: CD-19 Shock absorber?

quote Chris_P:

I can tell when the shock is bad when I am trying to adjust the points with the plugs out using the timing fixture. Some can be so tight hard as heck to turn the crank! When they get tight enough no way will they start anymore.

Cannot see how that would affect the water pump though if it ran at half throttle and wouldn’t pump? THat is likely a different issue all together.

Seems like I remember it being unusually stiff when I was setting the points. Been a few months since I worked on it though. I will put some compressed air through the cooling system while I have it down.
