Yeah I forgot to mention that I ordered a new Kohler points set before pulling the trigger on another solution. I can get pics of the points setup now, but basically I have run out of adjustment. The largest gap I can get the points to achieve is right where it sits now, at
.016. The reason for this is still in question. Like I said, i mic'd the pushrod and it came out to almost a perfect 1.550 inches so it is pointless (pun!) to replace it.
The screw is maxed out in the direction that causes the ignition to be more advanced/increase gap. But according to the research I've been doing, cam wear is not a unheard of scenario. With my timing mark in the window on compression stroke, my points should be breaking open the circuit earlier, but I can't move the adjustment out any further than it already is. It's a very simple setup, not sure how I'd have anything wrong with my methods, but I'm sure you have more experience than I do.
Why are you opposed to electronic ignition?
