OK...........I understand your "timing" points. I've run less , but it does in fact , fall off..................just for shyts and giggles I'll pull it down to 34 and see what happens........
Besides all this........I have to follow up with this closing comment.
I made the mistake of using the Brad Penn BREAK IN oil to make initial passes down the track ( 5 ) , no one ever warned me or told me otherwise..........call me a dumazz if you want , but I did, and I learned the hard way. My INTENTION WAS , run it a few times and change it.
Now , I know that was wrong..................perhaps the vac pump isn't the problem now , after all. I actually called Brad Penn and talked with "Ken?"
anyway he slammed me for doing that , so did my "old machinist" I use.......LOL
And Adger Smith made references to this as well.......the older I get , the dumber I still am........doubt timing contributed.
