Good suggestion for engines with timing chains though.

 

[beaglebriar]

Put a oil pump in a mini Mac and went two rounds with the generator I was rebuilding. I won in the end. She purrs like a hen turkey now.

Timing chain jumped a cog. Get #1 cyc tdc then make sure rotor is pointin to #1 on cap. Had that happen to a dodge 360. Something to check.

Ah yes,the 90,000 mile you better check it nylon timing gear.

 

[Eccentric]

Around 1989-1990 I replaced the timing set in the 400 big block of a late 1970's Chrysler Newport. Cam gear had those infamous phenolic teeth. It'd shed seven teeth. Engine ran like poop until the timing set swap. IIRC, it had about 101K miles at the time.

Okay, cleaned the points again and it started. Held me foot in it steadily and started dropping rpm's after about 20 seconds. Giving it more throttle made no difference.

Swapped the coil and checked the point gap and was too wide. Reset and it started but is still running rough. A couple of times it smoothed out for a few seconds and then it starts backfiring. Have now blown out the left side exhaust donut to go with the leaking manifold gaskets...

I am thinking it may be in the advance in the distributor.

 

[hoskvarna]

That was my next suggestion.

What we have are Japanese Hornets but everyone here calls them bowwater hornets cause bowwater introduced them

We have around 4-6 here every year: Thank You for telling me who to hate.

 

[Guido Salvage]

Checked current at the coil with a test light. Ran a hot wire from the battery to the coil and it ran without backfiring and seemed to have more power but eventually died out

I put my sickle back together and clipped one of the pastures. I go at stuff like that too hard. Now I feel like poop.

As i type I am painting an engine.

Going to be a future Masterminded saw?

Going to be a future Masterminded saw?

Could be. I pulled the jug and found a bit of scoring and detonation on the top of the piston. The jug is salvageable tho thank god

On GA-1?

 

[T.Roller]

On GA-1?

Hwy 27 found it in downtown Dunlap

 

[hseII]

Hwy 27 found it in downtown Dunlap

That's 127.

GA-1 is US-27 south of the boarder.

 

[T.Roller]

You are correct. 127 is the old highway, 27 is the newer one I reckon. It was a small tree service set up with everyone. We had been looking at stuff all day and all I'd seen was some overpriced 029's. I had given up all hope. We ran across them and I asked them how much for the 2100. The guy said I dunno what that is but the saw is $20. I couldn't get the money out fast enough.
