<x-flowed>Steven,
Thanks for coming back on this.  Can you or anyone else tell me what the 
length of the link between the bellows and the post on the advance plate 
should be set at?
I've searched the web and found nothing, but I know i've seen this 
somewhere recently.   I guess it should just bridge to the post so there 
is no lost movement, but I wanted to check this.

Whan i suck on the pipe, it doesn't let air in , it just seems very 
stiffly sprung, even when I push the link rod towards the bellows.

The plate is free and everything else is in very good shape, so the vac 
can is the only questionmark.  I'll play again tonight.

I know i could back off the throttle stop screws by the same amount and 
be somewhere near balance, but i don't want to have to redo the balance 
until I've got the other dizzzy in and the timing reset again.

Chris
