[QUOTE="bobcatzack, post: 121932, member: 22200"] Out of the fire into the fire (literally!) So when I attempted to install, none of the items from the EI kit were fitting into my distributor. I was frustrated enough to manipulate the fittings (drilled a bigger hole in the magnetic ring etc.). Got the distributor back onto the machine - and it started! However, after running for 5 minutes the muffler area started getting RED HOT!! So hot that some oil around the plugs caught on fire! I was lucky the whole engine did not blow up! Now I am reading online that perhaps my ignition timing could be out of whack .. being a novice, not sure what to do next : ( [/QUOTE]
