I've been looking all over for anything to help...and I found somewhere that the timing should be around 10 degrees with the aldl disconnected .Does that sound right ? I did get it to run in that degree. Revved pretty clean ,unless I bump the gas then it shuts down quickly.Also when I do have it run..one way or the other i can hear some pops (too rich?) from the muffler,the spark plugs arent new but are not old either.
