Custom/Hybrid Total Loss Issue

[Jcary85]

I don’t unfortunately. I know I am making an assumption that the plate didn’t move but it ran well for 4 solid years.

The reason I mentioned the shim thickness is because I can’t see how the thinnest shim can go from being too small of an air gap to too big.

I have reached the end of my skill set and when it comes to finding TDC and setting the static timing, I don’t feel comfortable doing it on my own. I’m a visual learner and understand the what and how but would like to have someone show me.

The other thing that happened when it kicked back a few times is a whole bunch of black sludge came out. I’m guessing because off all the starting and not running properly that the cases got loaded up.

If anyone is within a reasonable distance to Michigan I am happy to pay for your time.

If u get a piston stop or dial indicator I’d be happy to video call u and walk you through it.

Plug wires reversed maybe? You’ll definitely need to reset your timing if you don’t know where the plate was. Do you know what the static timing was set at?

You and Freakrider were on the money. Plug wires were reversed so I must have done that when I replaced both pickups. Fired right up!

Now just need to water test...
