Hey guys,
Took some great advice on here and have been tinkering with my timing and carbs. I advanced the dist. to around 18", 20" being the peak. This showed a little passed 12 ATDC on the pulley and it runs better than any other setting/configuration I have worked with... but this causes my idle speed to be around 1000-1250. Not acceptable right?
I tried to slacken the idle screws, but it wants to cut out at idle when I try to get it in the 800-950 range. Not necessarily sputtering out bad, but that uncomfortable feeling at a stop light.
I guess the question would be what risks am I taking by keeping the configuration of ~12ATDC with a idle of ~1100? Or is there something else that I should educate myself on.
Help always appreciated,
W
