- This is your faithful servant with another stumper: The J2 I m working was never intended to have any engine work done on it, but so much for best intentions. When the car is started, it runs a bit r

- When I had my two J2s 50 years ago in England with low octane and slow burning petrol the reco'd ignition setting was 20 degrees BTDC which gave 40 degrees BTDC at speed. They went very well, withou

- Lew, I usually start with the ign timing. Make 100% certain it's spot on at 1 1/2" BTDC as marked on the flywheel. A very slow RPM and timing light make this simple. Then double check the valve timin

- You didn't mention valve timing. MMM engines will run with the valve timing mis-set over quite a range, but they will only run #properly# if it's dead right. If the cam timing is out, this could cau

- Thanks to all who answered. I've checked most things already mentioned. I've set the timing to 20deg BTDC, but I believe it may have been set back to TDC in an attempt to solve another problem (valve

- If you find the timing is OK, I would suggest that you richen the mixture a little. Today's petrol, in the US anyway, is absolute garbage and doesn't burn as well as "pool" used to in the UK during
