Dude, I have been taking initiative. I have been givin MANY suggestions (especially from you) and so far I've tried pretty much everything you have suggested. I've been doing this as logically as possible. Also, I have spent well over $500 on just your word alone. Don't go and say I haven't. You of all people should know that this crap is damn frustrating. On top of that this is my daily driver, so it's a real pain in the ***. This is my first real experience trying to tune a carburetor...

We talked about how to check the mechanical advance thoroughly earlier in this thread. Scottland also noted how you had the mechanical advance cam installed upside down and we both noted that it looked like you had too light of springs installed. Then you come back with " and do you think my mechanical advance is screwed up? " Like I said how the heck should we know...you're there.....we're not!! Check it.
I'm a bit Ticked because of that comment and also the fact that I spent over an hour...of MY valuable time (just before getting ready for a MAJOR Pro Race ).. downloading PDF documents from Crane showing wiring diagrams for your Crane HI6...and pointing out what page for YOU to look at.
So that's what I meant by taking the initiative. You've got the info...you've got a good head on your shoulders ( at least hopefully ) so use it.
To use an old proverb. Give a hungry man a fish and he will be full for a day. Teach a hungry man HOW to fish...and he will never be hungry again.
Fair enough?

Sorry for sounding so grumpy...but well I was. Now that's off my chest I do hope Trans_AM_88 gets everything fixed. I know it's frustrating.
Off to the races now

I don't mean to interupt your thread, but have you replaced the spark plugs? I might have missed that due to the extremely large content of reading. I know you have said you have cleaned your plugs, but after they get broke down, you can't clean them completely, even with the sand blaster. A bad plug can make it girgle or pop out of the exhaust if it's missing.
