Re: 1.6 road speed on 31's
I redid the timing last night and can confirm I have no idea what I'm doing. 10°btdc at high idle, still just no power, so I'm hoping I can do a wagtail and crawl to billing and let the boffins take a look

sabotage the truck and get the AA to bring you, might be quicker and save on fuel

Re: 1.6 road speed on 31's
It should be set at idle, i.e. 850rpm with the vac advance unhooked and blocked. what rpm are you setting it at?timwilks13 wrote:I redid the timing last night and can confirm I have no idea what I'm doing. 10°btdc at high idle, still just no power, so I'm hoping I can do a wagtail and crawl to billing and let the boffins take a look

Just what ever tick over is on the truck, no idea of the exact revs? If its only slightly out it won't do any damage to the engine will it?

Re: 1.6 road speed on 31's
It all sounds soo technical.
My experience with the KJA
Not starting, check spark, ok. Check fuel, ok to the carb. Still not starting.
Take fuel in pipe off carb, put down the carb, turn over till it starts. Quickly put pipe back onto carb properly. Turn dizzy till is sounds right.
Admittedly I haven't actually driven it yet to see how it goes.

Yes, you did. I did read it, but for some reason it didn't hit me that I hadn't pulled my vac advance when I tuned mine until Scottie said it too!dan_2k_uk wrote:I said that last page. Vac off.

Don't ask me why...?
I'm bringing a colourtune kit and (if I can get it working again, or borrow HPOC Scottie's) a timing light, and we can all have a bit of a tuneup.
It's a really crap timing light though, so if anyone has one that can illuminate properly, I'd be grateful. This one is fine if you get it within an inch of the the target, but that's hardly ideal, now is it?
