Nice machine work, Frank R! Yours looks better than the one being auctioned.
I have a pretty good eye; I bet my nozzles aren’t very far off; glad to hear that’s probably not a major factor. I tried two props; don’t think they’d both misbehave in the same way, even if both had bad hubs.
I think the belt timing has been OK, despite the flywheel R&R. The belt timing is (I hope) the first pic. I timed the belt with the throttle closed; y’all please let me know if I got that wrong.
I’ve included pics of the carb with the throttle closed, and wide open. One pic has the distributor fully advanced; hard to see but the linkage is parallel with the triangular boss on the block. The last pic is the linkage, with the throttle wide open. The throttle keeps going after the distributor is fully advanced, (which looks correct, with the spring in the linkage).
The distributor pulley has not slipped on its shaft. I didn’t pry it off, but after pulling the points cam, (which was right side up) and nut, I can feel the key in the correct slot with a probe.
Anything else to check, before I reassemble the distributor and move on to the carb?
Many thanks!
Alan
