non starter The Fairies In The Garage

[Bob Tucker]

The petrol gets sucked into the cylinders.

If theres a spark at the right time the engine WILL fire.

It didnt, so its not a fuel problem.

 

Recheck the timing as per richy's instructions.

[Dave Ed]

I had a load of spitting back through the carb after having not run the car for about a year. It turns out the vernier pulley has moved whilst starting and the timing was way out.

Check all your alignment marks. Tdc and cam pulley. Check your firing order. Dizzy and rotor alignment for firing on 1 at tdc.
