    base timing keeps advancing by itself...

    It has been together around 2 years, and i romp on it continually. I have around 15” vacuum at idle. I put the pink springs in and they helped. Which seems weird, there was no off-idle stumble issue. Smooth transition to partial or WOT. So far, rattling is gone. I think the carb is very lean...

    base timing keeps advancing by itself...

    Yeah I have been eyeballing the 650 avs2 for a long time, comes quite a bit richer out of the box. If my needle change (2 stages richer in power mode) is a step in the right direction I might just go ahead and pull the trigger on the new carb and start tuning that. Reading the Edelbrock...

    Ray, new spring helped, slowed the timing curve but did not completely get rid of the rattle. Phreakish's comment "An engine can "run great" while slowly, or quickly, destroying itself. Simply jumping at the timing may not be the solution to the issue. Ignoring other possibilities is a great way...

    Thanks for the tips. After confirming TDC, I went back in to take a look at the carb. Did a full throttle pull, killed engine and pulled plug, it showed almost completely clean. Ordered needles (Edelbrock avs) to go richer. Will see how that effects things.

    Crackedback wiring upgrade?

    Kit is worth every penny.. even if you have excellent soldering/electrical skills and enjoy making your own harness, its a good value just for the price/quality of components he is buying in bulk. If you are like most of us and don't particularly enjoy wiring, the kit is a slam dunk. Bright...

    Again, you are free to move along. Others have been very helpful, you have been rude. You can't ignore all previous information shared in the thread, give a shotgun blast of condescending generic troubleshooting instructions, and then get angry when I don't immediately ignore everyone else and...

    To address the latest posts in order, sorry I generally only get on here once a day. Working long hours.

    base timing keeps advancing by itself...

    Thank you, I understand and acknowledge that the dampener may have spun. I was addressing ray's timing light concern. I'm not 'disregarding' anybody. I am also not in the habit of taking orders from impatient strangers on the internet. We are engaging in some troubleshooting discussion on a...

    Cast-in timing marks on cover agree with the light when dialed back, 10 BTDC. Timing light with no-dial back, lines up with 10btdc mark on cover.
