You must have really reefed on that hold down bolt. Stay away from the Wheaties!!!

Anywho, clean all round the hold-down and use anti-seize on the cap screw along with the correct torque value.

Re: Tuning issue - updated
VICTORY !!
Yep, the stubborn bolt has given it up. Removing the throttle mechanism was just the right move. It allowed me to fully seat a 10” long combo wrench on the bolt head and put some direct force on it, and lo & behold, it came loose! I did put a different bolt in its place, then reinstalled everything, set the timing, turned the idle screws in about three-quarters of a turn and took her for a test drive. Now it starts without giving it any gas, it pulls away from a dead stop without any hesitation, and the ‘gimme more gas’ feeling it gone from cruising speed. So, I am claiming the operation a rousing success. Thank you one and all for your suggestions and moral support. Not that it matters, but it was asked…. Pertronix part number= 1282P6; and QUOTE from the inst book “The igniter can move the timing as much as 10 degrees…so it might need adjusting” Thanks again to all !!! |
