Checked my idle timing .It needs to be set too high to run ;I think. It's supposed to be 3 Degree advance; but to run needs to be more like 10. Other than that runs good. Compression136 on both cylinders. Spark looks good 7/16 inch gap. Accelerates smoothly.Wondering if I need to take it in to an expert. Or is this higher advance not a big deal?
