Slacker_Sam. Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Try changing the Points & condenser. It may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77magnum13hundy Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Put a timing light on it. Check the resistance of each spark plug lead, if they all similar they should be fine. Replaced the plugs? Replace coil/test with a diff one if its better worse? Dizzy or dizzy components like Trump sez the old points should be checked ensure they close and open right on point of number 1. Shuddering sounds like ill ignition. Earth points even. 4k's are simple engines to diagnose, what about acceleration does the vaccuum advance work? check vaccuum hose. Anyways timing light will show you what up i think they should be 10 btdc... someone might know better. discoonnect vaccum hose when adjusting.

EvoBilly Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 don't want to sound dumb but have you checked that the idle cut off valve thing in the carb is opening fully just make sure its getting 12v and when you plug it in and out it clicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77magnum13hundy Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 just here The pointgap should be around 0.45mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
