Black-grey smoke out of flame arrestor?

[Bill Sanborn]

A quick thought.

Check the centrifugal advance in the distributor. It is located under the plate that the points are mounted on. The "levers" should move freely under spring tension.

Seems like this should still need to operate the same with an electronic ignition.

Spray with WD40 if frozen. Moyer has replacement springs.

Good luck.

Timing off

What does it mean when black-grey smoke belches out from the flame arrestor.
I have been experiencing a loss of power in gear. Just as the motor dies the smoke belches out. Cloged intake manifold (plenum)? I've cleaned out the carburetor. Not installed as yet. Problem started when the PVC (indigo) was installed. New gas filters (primary and secondary). Anyone with any ideas.
Thanks, Chris

Much to do about nothing? The timing fwas off. Simple fix. Thanks for all for your imput, much appreciated. Chris
