Check the springs in the distributer to see if they are free. (under the points plate) if they are not it will not allow the spark to advance. |

there may also be a stupid little thing on top of your fuel tank right where the fuel line exits the tank and heads to the engine. It's a metal fitting that's about 2 inches long. When the engine is off or at low rpm the fitting has a ball that retracts into the housing to stop / reduce fuel flow. When you rev, it pulls the ball and spring to open up the fuel line. These things get stuck and need to be replaced. Very simple $10 exercise to see if that is the culprit. This assumes everything is working perfectly at 2300 rpm. I think your problem is fuel flow |
