Whilst looking at the bottom pulley...

Whooo all aboard the good luck express

I have seen from some googling that the flywheel timing mark can be out if the flywheel dowels aren't used or whatever. Lets trying timing off the bottom pulley and see how it goes :)

Tuned by ear it's running better than ever but why cant i see the timing marks?

Im really worried this is another issue covered up by the previous owner now

Good to hear you got it running. I've brought a new cheap dissy cap before and my car ran but when hot it kept cutting out, finally found a hair line crack in the new cap so in the bin that went... Just because something is new does not always mean it's good... If you can try and find a good brande...

The cap thats on looks like a cap set into a plastic housing, i am wondering the the new cap inside the casing would work hmmmm surely a silly cap won't make such a difference if its clamping

Its running... No idea why but new cap is the cause. After a ignition re time its a ok on the old stuff

No1 at tdc whats the first plug the cap should be pointing at?

Let's hope its timing

Turned the dizzy 180 it its square locator there and no difference except a worse backfire so it probably was right all along.... Stumped

Still knakard.... I am worried the bull merchant i got it from has done something really stupid now and its cost me it running. Plugs leads all seemed fine bar one been a tad wobbly. The rotor arm was cable tied together, hopefully it hasnt had it running off location before this. No car for work to...

Check all the HT leads are fully home, I’ve found the rubber dust cover/boot at the end of the leads can work there way down the HT leads and course a bad connection, if you hold the cable on the cover underneath the boot (not the very end or you can pull the end off) you can push the boot back up ...

Ill be back on it early tomorrow. Any suggestions anyone has please let me know.

Thanks

It didn't look like it, but are you sure the dizzy cap isn't 180 degrees out? Sent from my Moto Z2 Play using Tapatalk Its on exactly as it was before i started when it drove etc... I am so confused haha. I marked the cap front etc with white pen . Never had this changing a cap in my life The probl...

How do i test other items for failure? Im sitting waiting for it to dry out now as it soaking in there.

Strangely no4 is bone dry though.

I really need the car tomorrow evening sadly so will have to get on it early

It may be worth earthing the king lead near the back of block, take out all of the plugs and crank it open with full throttle to clear out all of the fuel in the cylinders. Then try again, if it still doesn't work, there may be a coincidental fault with the coil or ignition amplifier. Sent from my ...

It does look right, is it the cap the same as the original (terminal type)? Is the carbon springed carbon pin inside the cap there? Sent from my Moto Z2 Play using Tapatalk The original cap and arm are back on bud It has back on a sagem arm and cap which seems to be the ducelier type to look at so ...
