1994 Spi Troubles


Best Answer mintlawmaisie1994 , 10 September 2016 - 01:13 PM

FS,

 

thanks for getting back, I was hoping someone else could respond as I figured you were working or on hols. Anyhow, it's too late my friend!! She runs!!

 

I figured it had to be something to do with the timing, so I started to look at the sparking order again. I found that the spark for 1 was at TDC as seen previously, BUT it was at TDC on the exhaust stroke, not the compression stroke. At TDC on number one's compression stroke, the rotor arm was at the 7pm position, trying to light up 4, which was on its exhaust stroke at the time. Simple :proud: !! Took off the dizzy, extracted the drive using a rear sub-frame bolt (nice and long to reach in, so it doesn't drop into the sump), spun it round 180 Deg and put it all back together again. Bingo, first turn and she's away!!! Off to run MEMS Analyser on it now for 10 mins and make sure everything looks fine. 

 

Thanks SOOOOOOOOOO much for keeping me sane and your encouragement to keep on tinkering.  :highfive:
