Farmall Cub missing

[Pete in Holland MI]

Working on a project '52 Cub. Running at most speeds, either sitting in the garage, or driving down a level road, I get a miss every 1-3 seconds. Climbing some steep hills, the miss seems to go away. Starts & drives OK. Have played with carburator adjustments with no change. Any clues as to where to start looking ?

Also, on the linkage coming from the governor to the carburator, at idle, should the linkage to the butterfly be loose, or pressing the butterfly closed to the idle screw? It doesn't come back to idle all the time.

Thanx !

Fuel is not your problem as it does not just turn on and off. sTart with a compression check as always. Then spark plugs,wires back to the Dist. You can use a timing lite with e4ngine running go from wire to wire checking if the spark is constant and not intermittent. Loose bushings in the dist bad condenser,points even the wire from the switch along with the sw itself you are just have to check all the componets in the electrical circuit and somewhere along the way you will find the problem and do not just go out an throw money on new parts till you have found the problem unless ya gots lots of money
