I reckon you could be about half a mill out of centre, but if the plugs are firing when they are out of the bores it sounds like some thing else, are the plugs getting wet with fuel?.. Main Build

Yeah it's not a lot nala, but it makes it tricky trying the sensor closer as it could hit. The plugs are fine, i've been turning it over with the fuel pump disconnected for most of the time to prevent this. My build thread: http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=454802

It's clean dan, i will have to check the wiring again. Is the trigger wheel being off centre not really an issue then? My build thread: http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=454802

The settings for the senser gap are half to one mill, make sure your getting fuel to the engine, before and after the carb.. Alan Main Build

If your trigger wheel is out, could cause erratic or rough running.. Alan Main Build

With all plugs in the cylinder head and spare plug in the ht leads earthed to the head bolts. Should emulate them in the cylinder head.

Set the engine to top dead centre on compression stroke with the missing tooth at 12 oclock, count back to the 9th tooth your senser should be set to the centre of that tooth.. Alan Main Build

Right we have tried feeding the coilpack with it's own battery, and this has made a much better spark. But still no starting! My build thread: http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=454802

I have checked the static timing and at tdc the missing tooth is inline with the sensor. Which is in position with the triggerwheels bracket. My build thread: http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=454802

At TDC the missing tooth should be 90 deg after the sensor shouldn't it? http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.p...tid=469104&fr=0 |
