Chad H 06-23-2002, 03:24 AM My 72 Scout has a prob(304 rebuilt) It doesnt wanna start, unless I move (advance) the distributer CCW a few degrees, once it is running I have to drop it back to get it to run smooth..... ??? Chief yelling alot 06-23-2002, 09:13 AM you still got that thing :cool: dont hold me to it but maybe stuck andavce, i've seen them get really crummy but if there stuck that might cause a problem opicet of yours :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: just an idea Buddha's Ghost 06-23-2002, 07:25 PM What's your timing normally set at and what distributor are you running? Chad H 06-23-2002, 10:35 PM stock distributer.... base timing is 8 btdc I believe.... Thats where it seems to run the best anyway... Buddha's Ghost 06-23-2002, 11:05 PM Okay. I'm going to assume you're running points. Sounds like they may not be adjusted properly. Timing should be TDC factory setting. Doublecheck your points and see if they're off.Did anything lead up to this problem? It's also possible when you rotate the distributor that it starts because it's near the proper timing. The subsequent rough running may be another issue ( fuel supply or ignition circuit). | |
