tick over not good?
Turbo Mini Forums

Just got my mini turbo running for the first time today...
Tick over isnt very smooth, fine when revving but not on idle , was wondering if any one could help??
Cheers
Jamie.

What's wrong with it? Only running on three?

make sure its running on all cylinders

make sure its timed in correctley
then adjust the mixture
a RR is the required to set it up right

Check evrything to ensure you have a good start point for diagnosis, timing, fueling, valve clearences, and go from there!

what cam are you using as this can be lumpy on tick over if its a hottish one.

but still check all the above

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

What do all 4 plugs look like? This could give you a clue as to what is going wrong (lean or rich etc.)

Im sorted guys!! :) Cheers for your help ... in the end it was the timing slightly out but its sorted and runs grate now
Thanks guys!!
