Why would you need a timing light to tell how retarded you are ???

Timing out of whack would give real rough running, I'd imagine, not just die at idle.

Post by: Marty Champions on August 27, 2021, 05:43:59 AM: I fixed it mostly i think i retarded 'clockwise' the diistributer and adjusted the idle screw to make it more lean 'counter clockwise'

Its a fine balance of adjustments between the two
