I took it to a buddy and we got the timing light on there. Glad I did it was way late. We set the timing, adjusted the carb and she ran fine. We let her cool off for a couple hours then when I came out she was idlin real low, so I think I just have to fiddle with the fast idle screw. Sounds better than ever though. Thanks for the help guys.
