I just got it running but not too good. I replaced the rotor button and it fired up! However, it was missing and ideling rough. I set the timing with a timing light at 8 degrees before top dead center and it seemed to smooth out. I then held the throttle at about 3000 RPM and it ran real rough again, but if I disconnected the vacuum advance hose it would smooth out again. So I plugged the vacuum advance port on the carb and went for a test run and I felt like it was hitting on about 6 cylinders. So I just came home and parked it (I'm tired of fooling with it now) Maybe I'll try again tomorrow or maybe I'll just order a nice crate motor at Advance! I feel it's got something to do with the timing or maybe the cam is worn out or timing chain gears. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks, skyhawk1. Oh by the way, I was supposed to be in Pigeon Forge tonite, I guess that's why this is so fustrating.
