"I changed my carborator, fres
"I changed my carborator, fresh water pump, and valve covers. After that, I started my engine to set the carborator. I checked my timing. I set it back to 8 degrees. BTDC. The motor was running fine. I shut it down for about four hours; then when I went back to start it, it didn't want to start, like it didn't have any fire. So, I loosened my distributor bolt, turned the distributor to advance timing, and the engine fired up. After it warmed up, I set it back to 8 degrees. And it ran perfectly. Then, when I stopped it and tried to start it again later, it did the same thing...no start. Someone told me that it was the harmonic balancer. I could be off. Throwing off the 8 degrees. Should I leave it advanced, or what could be the problem? Could anyone help me? Thanks."
