You can only measure the dwell angle with it if it has that feature on it

i hear you have a dwell angle thingy for local people to borrow? is that still true?

[Jimmyarm]

It is

When I say 'borrow' I mean use it whilst I'm there type of thing Dont want to sound untrusting but tools always go missing !

As you cant drive it, I could pop down your way weekend after this one ?

The answer is - take it to a propper tuners and get them to set it up.

O and Colortune is available from Halfords, but this is only for use as a guide to roughly setting your mixture, again a propper tune will be needed.

and colourtune only really works for idle mixture not mixture under load!! you really dont want to be looking down that tube if the glass fails

would love to take it to a rolling road, but as it does not have an mot am only trying to get it close enought to drive without a misfire to the mot station and then im slapping on a stage1 kit and rollling roading it! so i guess ill trya colour tune then!

[fikus01]

good luck. are you running it without an air filter?? if you are it mite be too lean until u fit it!! also some minis do missfire more when not under load if the needle is a little off!!
