10 full turns is way way way off the mark. This is an indication of a problem. The first thing I'd check is the ignition timing. Free, too. Start by setting the timing, with the idle stabilizer bypassed, to 10* ATDC, hoses attached, 950 rpm. You should be able to get it to run fine with the idle stabilizer out. Then reattach. |
