I thought Fun Boy Three would have been over the top................................

thank you dan,,, that was the reason why i always adjust timing almost every week, no wonder the advances got stock., you were also the one who told me to invest on a timing gun, and i did , i bought a brand new decent t.gun for $40sh , just the timing no dwell meter thing, simple but its a big help... spring is comming, i gotta fine tune this little puppy.

Good to know you found and fixed the screw. It may have been hindering the mechanical advance too. So with that working, your timing may be way off, possibly too advanced which could ruin your engine.

Once you get it all back together, you need to set the timing correctly. Don't forget to disconnect the vacuum advance, plugging or capping the vacuum line or carb port while setting the timing. When you get the timing and idle speed set, reconnect the vacuum advance.

With the timing set, take it for a short drive to see how it performs. You may need to fine-tune idle and mixture.

Too long of a screw is a common problem. I found some phillips head ones that work well (much better than the slotted ones).

10Hp increase ???? Doubtful as the vacuum advance is only and economy device and NO not all distributors come with them.

ONCE AGAIN, i found the problem on my alleged non working vacuum advance. .. well guys , the vacuum advance is indeed working A ok...

what happened was the screw that holds the points to the circular moving thing is too long, it prevented the thing to move freely...

i cut it shorted

i took it apart, clean it, oil it a bit .. its nice to get familiar with the anatomy of a distributor. 

ahhh problem solved!! im expecting a 10 hP increase in the performance.(at least)

I emailed Jemal and Don, still not able to bring back rolleyes.

But they granted a new smilie just for you two.

Enjoy                                                          

hahaha.. everything is close to me here , i can go around the entire yuma in an hour..

he can't be me zip, he writes better engrish.,,, broken english is my trademark

Hey Robbie. I've booked a room for us over at the holiday in express. its really close to your house so shouldnt be a problem.

Wouldn't be the first time - Robster accused azBob of trying to steal his identity and bank account -

I'm starting to think that velocity and imatroll are one and the same.....

You two need to get a room.

oh so you play barbie dolls at your age now? seesh! 2nd childhood

um.... that's because I AM fond of Barbie doll. Barbie is the girl.... wth boobs. You know what those are, don't you? If Im fond of barbie that means I'm straight. Good attempt at an insult though.

Now, you were telling us all about your sausage dreams... when did these dreams start?

hahaha... having multiple usernames at one time is a sign that you're fond of barbie doll not Kent...

HA. the OP (you are the OP in case you forgot) already derailed this thread. You are the one who derailed it in the first place. And you are the one that keeps bringing up the male anatomy. I was just giving you an opportunity to confess to the world just why you're so interested in the size of my d!ck. You can send me a private message if you arent ready to tell the whole world yet.

ooohh i think i stepped on somebody's toes, or pinky. ... quit derailing this thread give respect to the OP

For being openly homophobic you sure seem fixated on the size of my penis. Do you need to "come out" and tell us something Robbie?

in his case, it's 15  1/2....lol

I guess I'll address this. If you put oil in the cylinder and it done got more suckshin... then your pistons are NOT tight. Actually if you can notice the difference in vacuum with your finely calibrated finger, then your compression is totally FUBAR.

But you should probably buy a new distributor.......
