CJ2A Power Loss
|
K. R.
Dear Friends,
I just got back from a weekend out of town. I read through all my mail and wept a tear at all sorts of topics where I could have injected my inaccurate and misleading advice. Nobody was led down the wrong path while I was gone. As I neared the end of my piled-up mail, how I wished for a simple question about distributors, since I'm stuck in that phase for a while. Then I came to the follow-up on the CJ2A power loss. Oh Happy Day! So to answer your questions: 1) The L134 did not have a vaccuum advance, as far as I know. Mine doesn't, nor do I know of any. Of course somebody will prove me wrong in the morning. A vaccuum advance mechanism does little more than improve fuel economy at light/part throttle applications so it shouldn't be a factor anyway. 2) The centrifugal advance mechanism is under the plate which supports the breaker points and condensor. A quick check is to manually turn the rotor, counterclockwise I think, and release it. It should snap back to it's original position with no hesitation. It is very common for a centrifugal mechanism to get jammed up and stick in one spot. They are also very easy to repair. Life is good, with folks asking about distributors just as I get back on-line. This sure sounds like an interesting problem you have about losing power. It sure is curious how everything is fine if it sits for a few minutes. It is hard to know if it is temperature related, and it cools off just enough. Or maybe some other force is at work, like fuel delivery or plugged exhaust. I see you have already checked the fuel pressure while actually losing power, so that is a good start. Have fun wading through all our WT advice. Watch out for tunnel vision while troubleshooting, and keep us posted. I must go for now. My teenage stedaughter, who is convinced I am the source of all evil in the world, wants the phone.
