T3: Large Problems

[MrRebel666 <MrRebel666@aol.com>]

I got the engine in, hooked everything up, adjusted the valves, point gap and
timing.

I started it up, and the generator light came on....and didn't go off, then i
noticed that the acceleration was extremely hesistant. (i only had it running
for about 30 seconds). So i shut it off and went around back to see if i could
tell what was wrong......it was smoking a bit!!! i looked to see where the
smoke was coming from, but i couldn't tell..."After the smoke cleared" i
checked the connections to the generator and the belt tension, which were all
correct..i checked the brushes which were also okay...

so i checked the timing and point gap again (for lack of better ideas) and
they checked out okay.

Any ideas? I'm at a total loss here....i did everything by the muir book. ( i
"resealed" the engine with a complete gasket set i bought).

I definetly won't start it again, until i can figure out what's going on.

Thanks.
Robert.
