Thanks gents, appreciated.
I have vacuum advance and retard on my distributor- I think in US you have one or none depending upon model. I blanked by a pipe between the two spigots on the carb so net nil effect and no intake to lean mixture.
My light is a (very) old in line type ie no inductance and no dial up advance. I’ve asked my kids to club together for a new one for my birthday next month but that’s another story - I’ve had this one 40y! Better than another pair of socks.
I estimate it’s firing about 20-25 btdc. But runs smoothly and doesn’t like it when I move distributor either side.
Agree re dwell - I set initially just to get engine started and it’s only about 20 on meter so yes, need correct that first and go from there. Thanks again.
