Re: Ignition timing
Did you jet the carb for the 2L motor?

Re: Ignition timing
I had a ADY with a GW carb and it drove great. Verify the timing physically. Mine was also sluggish at first but I was out a tooth on the distributor. Fixed that and it pulled much better

Re: Ignition timing
The carb is standard, was straight fit, no jets done, car was running fine but why is my timing light jumping around when checking with timing light
