Your flickering tacho would indicate that your points (or air gap if you have an elec dizzy) aren't fat enough.

cheers taz that was with old points dizzy

got eletric dizzy fitted now

it hadent had timing adjusted from n/a

[Taz_Rx]

Speaking of timing what are you doing about some boost retarding? Are you just going to lock up the dizzy?

A normal (NA) ignition curve will have too much advance while on boost and most likely blow you some head gaskets.

You have 3x main options to try and combat this:

1, Regraph the dizzy with much less top end advance

2, Retro fit a boost retard solenoid instead of the stock vac advance one

3, Lock the dizzy and run 20-25* static timing. This will "reduce the CR at the time of firing" but it doesn't help much in the bottom end or starting.

found a video of the charger going and piped

un rebuilt un timed and un tuned

just slapped together to see if its all good

very slow of the line but gets going

the new front forks are great

 

Taz_rx - I fixed your link for you. :)

thanks taz

i think he was going to run 24 ish degrees on the dizzy ?

whats lock the dizzy

is recurving costly or time consuming

what would you recomend

[Taz_Rx]

Locking the dizzy is just a matter of locking up the mechanical advancement weights under the elec points.

Pull the top out of the dizzy and you'll find a couple of small springs holding the weights in, remove these and replace with tie-wire so the weights can't move.

Recurving will give you better results because you have more correct bottom end, off boost timing. It can be a little time consuming and slightly expensive to setup cause you might want to do it 2-3 times to get it spot on.

Locking can be done in under half an hour and for basically no cost.

Good decision, sorry I should have mentioned that in the above options.

They're pretty expensive compared to say just a 6A but they would be nearly THE best option of fixing this issue.
