RE: mechanical advance

Very true - to check them, take the dizzy cap off and turn the rotor by hand as far as it will go anti-clockwise, and the let go of it and check that it will return to it's original position by itself.   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of maldat Sent: Saturday, 16 February 2002 3:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: mechanical advance if the weights are stuck it will not run at full rpm.

I'd say an ignition component is not doing it's job under load eg points, electronic module, coil, capacitor etc or fuel demand is not being met. Sorry about the vague general answer but that's the way it is with tracking down this sort of problem. A dyno session is the easiest way to diagnose this type of fault, unfortunately also the most expensive.regardsTerry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Greer Sent: Friday, 15 February 2002 5:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: mechanical advance   Guys, The mechanical advance should be the same at a certain revs no matter what the load/throttle position right?? Any ideas why my car will rev out at part throttle (jsut slowly of course) but a WOT it will get to a certain RPM at stop (cought and spit lots) and wont rev any higher?? Thanks in advance Steve --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
