After changing the distributor cap, all leads with plugs and adjusting timing to 12° BTDC I'm satisfied with the power (but not with the REMAX cap). Only hill climbing in 2nd gear with low speed at 1500-1800 revs and 10 percent incline is a suspiciously lame affair. Is there a way to change into first gear without stopping or is it strictly forbidden?
The REMAX cap doesn't fit the rotor arm. After 100 mls the graphit pin has been milled down. May be the pairing is wrong and I need an other rotor arm.
