Nate,
Hows the mill doing? Sounds like you're still tussling with the tight
timing. I pointed this situation out to Chuck Stoddard when he came over
to survey his baby at FC. He was abit miffed at how sensitive twisting the
dist. was. I think that is why he suggested for you to send him the dist.
to check out.
Before I would hang more jewerly off of that motor, I would make sure the
basics are up to par.
Give Chuck a call & let him take a look.
The clouds are starting to part at the shop so give me a call if you get a
chance.
See ya,
Jim Bounds
