I had a trans brake solinoid quit working. I rolled in deep staged and foot braked it, Average 60 foots are 1.65. It was 1.74 on that pass. That was at Nationl Trail at this years spring race. With average 60 fts of 1.65 if it would go 1.30 or 1.20 or 1.18 I would know I solved my problem.
So if I pulled all the plugs out of it so it would roll over, Take the lash out of the #1 intake, put a degree wheel back on the front of the motor, and check .050 before and after with a dial indicator that would tell me cam degrees. I did this with the heads off when I put the motor together. Also I think it would start hard with the cam retarded. Thanks for the suggestions. Birdtracker
