Finally, I started messing with jetting. The engine has this hesitation off idle. I changed the primary idle jet from a 60 to a 65. Hesitation is
80% gone. I can now lug the engine like a tractor. Very sweet. I'll try a 70 tomorrow, to see what that does.
I had back in the idle volume screw about a half a turn. It should be about 2 1/2 turns out (so they say), but due to the unconvenient location, I haven't tried to see where it really is sitting. Had to back the timing off 4 degrees, too, to avoid pinging. 009 peaks @ 32 degrees now, with 10 degrees @ idle.
So here's the question... how would I know if a 70 is too rich and I went too far? Just a hair of hesitation left running a 65. The difference between a 60 and the 65 was amazing. I fear the 70 will go too far.
Maybe I should think a malloy dist with vacuum advance in place of the bosch 009?
