Just got all wiring hooked up on my newly rebuilt engine, went to try and start it and it kicks back like crazy. My ankle hurts. I have a 78' motor, pamco elec. ignition, combo reg/rec, dual output mikes coil. The engine is fairly hard to kick over when not trying to start too, maybe the new rings/pistons?
What is the order of operation for diagnosing the problem. I don't wanna break my ankle this weekend. I've read that an advanced timing can cause kick back, I retarded the elec. ignition to the max (counter clockwise to the max). My advance springs could be worn, but wouldn't that just retard the timing even more?
thanks
