OK. That eliminates the vacuum issue. Does the Mallory have a mechanical/centrifacal weight advance under the rotor cap like a conventional? I have not worked with one of those. Since you know the idle solenoid works, you may be able to turn that idle mix screw back in 1-2 turns and lean out the mix a bit. It could be already too rich when you go to accelerate. If you don't get this fixed pretty soon, your going to force me to drag out my shop manuals! There IS a solution here, somewhere....... John
