Tell me what distributor did you use and what Solex did you put in? Typical combination 34 solex and and a dual port distributor on the vacuum canister one is connected to full vacuum and the other to ported vacuum. If you are using a mech advance only like an 009 it wont work. There is a modification you can do for a 34 if you have that combination. For trouble free combination I have a 30 solex and 009 It gives better mileage and you wont feel that much difference.
