MSD spark advance question
I have noticed recently that on occasion my 351W cranks very slowly when hot. It sounds like there is too much advance but the timing is correct. I took the cap off of my MSD distributor to check things out and found that the mechanical advance sticks just before going back fully. I had one very small spring and one larger spring on it so I replaced the small spring with a larger one. Same thing; the advance seems to stick always at the same point. I just nudge it and it goes all the way to the fully retarded position.
Is there some way to lub this? Am I missing something? Two large springs will not bring the advance back all the way. Any ideas?
