Well Oiled
When I restored the wagon I completely rebuilt the engine. I left no stone un-turned and the Super Hurricane has run pretty well for 3000 miles. It has alway had a slight off idle hesitation which always frustrated me. Of course you think carb and I have even tried a second carb which I rebuilt with care and that did not change anything. Tonight since it is almost time to tuck the old girl in for the winter I decided to do and oil change and a tune up. Plugs looked pretty good and the points were showing some pitting. I realized that the points and condenser looked fine when I rebuilt the engine so I re-used them. No idea how old they are. I installed the new points and condensor and plugs and double checked the dwell and timming and she seemed to run great as always. I took her for a spin and behold absolutely no hesitation. Runs perfectly. I never even touched the carb nor did I change the timming. I guess it could have been a condensor issue but I certainly have never seen this in 35 years of wrenching. Hmm. I guess I should have changed them to start with just cheap I guess.
