Re: Help!! Engine Miss
Joe B,
Thanks for taking the time to jot down all of your thoughts. I too have been thinking more and more about Bill's comment about his carb being set up for WOT. If my leakdown test this weekend shows no issues with the engine, I believe that I'll be turning my attention back to the fuel system.
While your thoughts on the MSD ignition tester are well received, I believe that I've eliminated the MSD box as a possible problem when I tested with the HEI distributor. Your comments on using the frame as a ground are also noteworthy, and something that I'll consider.
I recently had a racer suggest that my valves are set too tight for the Smith lifters, and/or the lifters are not operating properly, and are hanging the valves open. While I've got the valves set the same as on the dyno, I assume that the leakdown test should verify where I stand with this. I'll share the leakdown results this weekend. Thanks again.
-Ben
