I have an SMTA. It used to do the catch up thing when I accelerated, I adjusted timing and that seemed to help. I also had the pertronix ignition until recently. I took advice from ChadS and put lighter springs on the distributor advance, I don't know how much that helped. I don't pull it but use it on a 12 foot hydroswing swather in heavy hay. My main jet is probably at 4 or 5 turns out when I pull it hard like that. Best way to set it for load is with a constant load like a Dyno. I usually back off the main jet when not on the swather to help with economy. I set my RPMs up a little, about 2100 on the tach I had. I don't care for it to run faster but want to be able to hold the RPMs under load. On my throttle 5 is near the normal full RPM for PTO work, I run there most of the time but go to 6 with the swather. I don't want to make a hot rod out of it, just need it to do the work I need done. You might post over on the pulling forum for some more suggestions.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
