High RPM missing

chuckbaynham

1976 AMF Harley gas
- Compression 90 PSI
- Points 2 week old gaped at 22 thousanths. (0.022)
- Timing Spot on! Pun intended!
- Muffler burned on fire when new cylinder and piston installed mid August.
- Points not changed with top end rebuild but 2 weeks later.
- New spark plug when points changed!
- Condenser not changed as points were not built up on either contact side.
When jacked up or driving, previous high RPM nor attainable and miss-fires occur as well.
- Checked with muffler removed, Same result!
- Plug wire swapped out, same result!
ALSO bogs at beginning of acceleration!

Thoughts please,
- bad set of points?
- bad coil?
- fuel supply?
I am leaning toward bad points since that is the last thing changed!

P.I.T.A Condenser!!!!!
Put old points back in, gaped and checked timing!
Same result; high rev miss-fire.
Bought a new condenser, installed it, reset points, checked timing again and....
Done like dinner.
Twice in my life I have experienced a condenser problem.
Last one was a 1967 Mustang that kept quitting when hot.
Done and done for tomorrow I Golf!
