So, as I start to do a link and sync procedure on this new to me 200, the first thing I noticed was a piece of rubber hose slipped over the cam follower roller. This engine was idling pretty high (around 1600 rpm) when I finished the rigging and started it. I thought well, that might have something to do with it. Then I noticed that there is sticky goo around the timing base and it's very hard to move. Looks like someone has been fiddling around with it as there's tool marks on the timer base arm. So, the goo probably from the stator above it? The stator seems to be putting out charging voltage (14.3) on my voltmeter and there's got to be power pack voltage for it to run, so I'm assuming it's still working? I can't see anyway to clean up and free up the timing base without pulling the flywheel. Any thoughts or advice on what could be going on with this engine? Thanks
