Re: Carb? Stuttering after a while

Re: Carb? Stuttering after a while
Would the fact that I put a 45D dizzy in affect how the timing should be set despite what the manual says which I assume covers the original 25D thanks myoldjolopy

Re: Electronic Ignition
No I didn't use the new electronic distributor thinking it was faulty..so reverted back to my points dizzy....after finally sorting it out I'm thinking now that the electronic distributor was probably ok that's maybe another project for another time now...like I said in previous posts I like to have...
