Bosch 0 231 13 003 distributor, no vacuum advance.

OK I think I found the reason it will not rev up well, and takes extra choke to run smooth above 2000 rpm under load.

One of the centrifugal advance springs was unhooked, and the reason it came unhooked was probably because it is about 1/8 inch lnger than the other and about 3x as stiff. I hooked it up without lookin gclose at first and got NO advance at all. At least before, I got immediate full advance. It would idle ok and rev up to about 2000 the start to stumble until I choked it.

For a second I thought this was a first and second stage spring, but that's just crazy talk. I now think this is fubar. Where can I get the correct springs? I'm going to to try Ace tomorrow on my hike.

Thanks.
