Default Re: I'm Outta Touch, I'm Outta Time

Could be a sticky valve. Try a compression test. If it is, try running some MMO in the fuel. Normal dose is 2 oz. in 5 gallons but it won't hurt anything to go above that for trying to unstick a valve.

You checked timing. Check point gap. Grease the cam a bit.

How fresh is the gas in it?

Is car wired up positive ground? If you know how, check the wiring of the coil polarity.
