Welcome to the New Ekonomy. We have supercomputers that fit in our pockets and can access almost all of the world's combined knowledge. They are mostly used to look at pictures of cats.

It was the timing light. I bought a new one and it works perfect. The good thing it was so far off I knew something was wrong. What if it had been off just a few degrees and I had set total advance wrong? Not good! I am 77 years old and never heard of a timing light being wrong.

If it was off a few deg.s you would feel a lack of power or pinging at full advance then you would probably buy a new timing light Razz

These things are tuff and they will let you know if they are unhappy.
