Timing problem?

Nice detective work. Thanks for sharing.

All the way up.

The rotor position shown above is the proper position with the timing pin in the gear depression and piston #1 at TDC. The dashed line shows the position of the rotor when #1 fires with the spark lever fully advanced (down).
NOTE: This is for reference only and not a suitable method for final adjustment of the timing.

When the timing pin drops into the cam gear detent, the rotor position should look like this, with any freeplay on the CCW direction. So, you may be able to turn the rotor a little counter clockwise, but should NOT be able to turn it clockwise when the points cam screw is tightened.

My rotor looks different because I balanced i/QUOTE]


Can you provide your procedure for making a balanced rotor? Have you considered starting a cottage industry?

One more thing to worry about.
