FI dist, the 009 WILL give you a hesitation, which you may be able to make
better by getting things too rich but it will always be there. The 009
shouldnt cause anything to cut out though, but that may be the compufire…
they quality control of those products is almost non-existant… they are
frought with issues and seldom last more than a couple years of regular
service. A good set of ventilated Lubripoints will last 15-20Kmi without
touching them.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>So I <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>thought </span></i>I found the culprit to the bad
hesitation (a better description than "cutting out" actually)...the
compufire instructions say to not replace the condenser hold-down screw because
it can throw off the advance magnets... some how I missed that two years ago
(!) Anyhow,, it didn't make a bit of difference after I removed it so I'm back
to square one. <br>
<br>
Since it starts and idles perfectly, and hasn't backfired/sputtered and/or
smelled rich/funky at any point my hunch is that it's
distributor/advance/compufire related as opposed to the carbs. (Again, it just
stutters and hesitates badly between 1.5K and 3.5K RPM as if you're trying to
drive it dead cold on 3 cyls). I have a good used 009 with points on the shelf
(same place the coil and plug wires came from... just to head off a potential
lecture on throwing new parts at the problem ;) so I might just try to swap
that out. But before I do, A) Is there anything else that could be causing this
problem that I am overlooking? B) Is there any lubrication or maintenance I
should have been doing to keep the 009 advance functioning properly? I did
notice the advance seemed to be jerky, and didn't seem to want to make it past
the 20s (usually advances to 30-32). If this 009 is a goner I'd consider going
back to an FI/VA dist, but can you have pointless ignition with those? I'm done
with points.<br>
<br>
Thanks all,<br>
