Panhead distributor
Does anyone have a diagram of a single point dist. for a 60 pan? Just got mine running but anything over idle and she spits and sputters and dies. I am running a cv carb. Any ideas that you think will help would be greatly appreciated.

Pts set at .022 (narrow lobe ) How about timing ? As you probably know timing is off the front cylinder If timing is a problem let us know we'll walk you thru it I take it your using a CV plate adapt off the stock manifold

Yep stock manifold adapted for cv. I think the timing is ok, ran great at idle just didnt want to rev up. I was thinking the weights might be stuck. Points are set at 22.

Remove spark plugs Remove pushrod clips on front cyl pushrods rotate the engine till the front pushrods are at the bottom of the cam if the rods were adjusted properly you should be able to spin the rods with your fingers (tight spin ) now go look into the timing hole At this point I like the rear wheel off the ground the trany in 4th gear rotate the wheel slightly either front or back till you see the flywheel mark come into view I time the 46knuck and the 52 pan with that flywheel mark at the rear of the timing hole I think the 60 pan should be in the center ? close enough Now real quick go see if the front pushrods still spin At this point the circuit breaker aka distributor shuold have the narrow lobe just opening the points NOT .020 but .001 I use a 12volt test lite to check the points at this point (my bikes are all 12 V ) If at this point the fat lobe is opening the points you will have to pull the circuit breaker (distrib ) and rotate the splines that drive the circuit breaker till the narrow lobe is lined up with the points Confused ? I am let me know the outcome
