Pulled the Mess that was my Timing Chain....

I forgot to take off the air cleaner while it was running well when cold. I was happy enough that it idled in drive! I will check first thing tomorrow, since it will be nice and cold. I think it might improve. If not, I will post some more pictures.

With the air cleaner off, I'll also be able to watch the choke as well as it warms up. It's very possible, since the only thinking linking the plate to the linkage itself is this wire....

As a side note, I checked the metering of the coil just to be curious. Measured 1.2 ohms on the primary circuit. I'm not entirely sure what it is supposed to be. The coil was actually cool to the touch, and I recently ran the engine 10 minutes ago. If it were overheating, I would think it would still be at least a little warm like the coolant hoses were.

I sure feel like I am! I'm at a point though where it sure would be nice to drive it out of the shop!
