Sorry I goofed up but I'm good at that I guess.
I had my dyno tune again today and it was another dismal outcome. The
ignition system is better with my deletion of the ammeter and
replacement of the headlight switch. The switch was toast and the engine
would die when I turned on the dome light via the switch. Now you can
kill it by testing the voltage on the neg side of the coil while running
with the dyno guys scope. He said he's never run into a problem like
this in his 20 years at this. He'll run it again for me for free after I
sort out the wiring just so he can see what's going on and how it turned
out.
He ran a wire from the +battery to the ballast resistor and that helped
greatly but we still can't get it run out all the way before the
ignition starts cutting out. We're real good on the jets for the
primaries but the secondaries need to be decreased a bit. 3600rpms was
all I got on the first pull and this time it went, reluctantly, to
4800rpm. The max hp was 105 and the max torque was 155. Yikes, that's
pitifull!!!!
Then to top it all off I punched a hole in my radiator and have to pull
it again. My fault.
I guess I'll be a spectator at the Geezer drags this year. Rats.
