Harv's FED thread

[Harv]

I did a bunch of Googling, and 18-25 thou was recommended for magneto ignitions. It lines up to the 18 thou that Repco recommended too. Joe Hunt recommend 18-25 on a Vertex, with the smaller end used for higher rpm.

Could be very wrong though, as they were 30-odd though out of the NGK boxes.

Cheers,

No joy trying to get the converter and box in despite several efforts. Could be a converter pad depth issue, me not putting the converter home, flexplate needing to be dished not flat, or crank sticks out too far… or a mix of the above. Have a plan of attack, and correct reference distances, but have run out of time. Off to work to pay for all this.

FED all tidied up and stored at Kennards for the shed build. SUs and side plate in place temporarily to keep the dust out. I can work on it there (within reason) but it will be a little disjointed. Got lucky and the local Kennards has a loooooong car garage that fits the FED and trailer… by inches.
