[TR] Flutter miss

[Reihing, Randall S.]

Is it possible the distributor shaft bronze bushings could be worn just enough that at higher RPM that extra clearance or possible wobble could affect the timing of the points action and gap, and/or the rotor to cap timing and spacing?

Spark Plug wires will fail under load like that.  That'd be my first thought before plugs, especially with electronic ignition and especially if you're running anything other than copper core wires.  Then the distributor cap and rotor.  Some of the older rotors were sketchy.


Have fun!

Tr-3 starting to miss (like a “fluttering”).

Anything over 3,000 rpm.  3,000 miles on new overhaul.  Gonna check carb oil, plugs, fuel filter/pump, ....any thots?



Have electronic ignition.
