ignition timing imho is 90% of the reason the loopframes are hard to
start. make an index mark somewhere on your distributor hold down for
where it's set now. now loosen distributor hold down, advance it all the
way. hit starter. then retard it all the way, hit starter. you will
see a massive difference in how it spins. find a happy medium, advance
it till it starts to ping under load, then retard it slightly. then
check and see if it will start when hot/cold. erase old index mark,
make new index mark. this solves almost all the starter turns slow issues.
