Ignition Timing - Distributor
Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 8:23 pm
Got back from a two week vacation yesterday and took some of the parts, I received during the vacation, to the Cubhouse to put on my mowing Cub. The Cub starts fine but has a high idle miss. I took a timing light and at idle the Cub is firing at, probably, 32 degress BTDC. At high idle the timing marks are at the top of the pulley.
I have reviewed the owners manual, service manual, and several threads & How Tos on distributor timing and I'm lost. Any help to an electrically challenged Cubber is appreciated.
I have:
On the bench, installed points and condenser. (May have gotten the gear out of time.)
Installed new plugs and plug wires.
Installed rebuilt carb.
Removed and examined the governor and am confident the timing marks are properly aligned.
Tightened up the connections on the governor.
Where do I start to get this puppy timed properly?
Thanks.
Bill
