Reply to "Carb backfires"

Guys, with all due respect, this thread is miserable. We have a new guy with a problem. If you read his description, it stands out that he has changed the points and not set his timing (or dwell angle) afterwards. So it would be a miracle if the timing is right. And late timing gives the symptoms he has. All agree? So this is probably 80% chance the issue. So worth checking first IMO. Wouldn't you? Would you start to look at whether the timing chain had jumped a tooth or do compression test to monitor for a stuck valve BEFORE you set the timing right? I think not.

It looks like it becomes a competition in imagining reasons for backfire, regardless of his symptoms. Most of them with less than 1% likelihood. And some of them, if you READ all his symptoms, with 0% likelihood. That really doesn't help him, that confuses him I could imagine.

It's often the simple things, start there, eliminate them, and then go to the more complicated stuff.
