Re: Ignition timing problem

No way, I rebuilt the starter and it cranks awesome.
What I mean by harder and harder to start is more of a chronological observation. I.E., after I do the whole ordeal with setting timing, stabbing disty, checking rotor position, and cleaning/replacing plugs, she will absolutely start.
Every time therafter, she gets harder and harder to start. After that first, perfect start and idle, it has a harder time catching. So what I will have to do is keep changing the position of the disty (rotating clockwise/retarding), every time I start her thereafter. Until, unfortunately, I run out of adjustment at the distributor. At that point, she will either catch, and immediately die, or crank until the end of time.
This is like a cycle or loop that keeps happening. I'm going to try again, this time with the replaced EFI relay, however, I have a feeling the symptoms will remain chronic.
The only thing I can think of is the air is not being pulsed in enough.
