[Dano64]

Hi.

So my new 64 with a 250 was a little tricky to start. I figure out that the accelerator pump wasn't working properly, but it seems to work ok if I push the gas down more slowly to wet the carb.

I think she's running rich and that the timing or points may be off. I pulled the cap to look around and the rotor/cap had some corrosion. Cleaned that off and went for a drive before futzing with anything else.

It seemed a bit better and I moved on to timing. The timing notches on the balancer are showing up at about the 12 o'clock position and the timing marks that show TDC and advance are at about 2 o'clock....off by inches! So... assuming the balancer is keyed do I have a balancer from the wrong truck? When I get to timing, I think I need to manually find TDC and time from there. ya?

My question is logical sequence of checking points / timing / carb tuning. And I'm a little nervous about that last one so I"m hoping carb is last, logically.

Help appreciated. Photos coming soon.
