Please tell me if I"m doing this right. (gas
engine)I checked the compression and all cylinders
read the same 130psi. I set the points to (.020).
Spark plugs are at(.023). Carb is generally 1 1/4
turn at top and 3 turns at bottom. Oh yeh, and I
adjusted all the valves at (0.017). I"m trying to
set the timing at a low idle and the timing marks
are jumping around and not steady enough to make
it easy for me to visually pin point where the
mark should set. I"m thinking I hear a slight
steady puff at every firing revolution. Now could
I have a bad valve or are my settings off? My
vacume guage is not perfectly steady but not all
over the place. Please help! ....Thanks Tim
