Chamonix is running rough. I checked green wire at coil, 11.45v and 8.0 after the ballast, with jumper from battery 12.4V and close to 9v after ballast. Don’t think this is a problem, coil checked out OK at 3K ohms primary and 9K secondary and it is new (black with 1.1 ohm ballast) as are points which I checked, condenser, cap, rotor, wires and plugs.
Runs like crap when cold, much smoother warm but something isn’t right. When cold chokes close and open progressively but it doesn’t have a fast idle, I have to hold it until it warms up. I have rotated the choke housing to a richer position. I pulled Zenith top case off on Sunday, cleaned idle air jet and upper jets on main and secondary. Maybe I need to pull again as in bottom of the 2nd stack are the other main and secondary jets, mixing/emulsion tubes run between the two. Will talk to Don’s expert tomorrow, another frustration on the road to completion.
