Outsatnding. Thank you Robert.
The 196 was purchased from IHPA. On new years eve, I called them to place an order for my own self, and actually had a chance to talk to Jeff regarding the motor. From my understanding, is that everything on the motor is oem straight off the sales floor. Which is what ya see in the photo op that I posted.
You are correct in the symptoms. The pvc on there is what came with the motor, but not sure of the function as of yet. During deceleration, only one or two pops and one pop on shut down, out the exhaust.
I set the timing to 10* before it was driven. I just realized this morning, as I was reading your post, is that I forgot to tighten up the fitting, for the line connecting to carb, on the vacuum advance canister on dizzy. I did plug the vacuum line off the carb while I timed it. If I have time today, I will tighten up that fitting. It was midnight and cold when we were driving it around the block.
If it comes down to any type of misfiring from ignition, I feal that the pertronix will help out. Along with a new coil. The current ballist resistor, which was swapped in from the 152, is broken. I told him about it right before I installed the 196. Plus, some of the wiring connecting the resistor, dizzy and coil aren't much better than the resistor itself.
With it being late in the night last night, and with my un-familiarity with this particular carb, I couldn't see exactly where the adjustments were for aire/fuel mixing. I'm used to worken with the v-8's with the 2 or 4 barrel poppers. What kind of adjustments on the carb I can do?
Also, since kingkonger posted it in his first post, would it be worthwile to just go ahead with the 32/36 weber swap? Or maybe a rebuild of the oem 1920 carb. I ask, due to that when this motor was origanally installed in later model Scout, it mostly sat and used on a farm. From talking with Jeff ismal, this motor only has about 19k miles on it. From the way it idles and driven hard, it's a strong running motor. From my own dealings with the great service from IHPA, and seeing the top quality builds they do, I don't have a reason to doubt anything I hear from them.
Btw - as I typed this, I forgot to mention that I used the dizzy from the 152. I have to dig up the one that came with the 196 initially to finger out why. Old timers disease. Would that be an issue?
