major engine issues, broken bits

  1. what've you adjusted your points gap to? should be 0.4mm
     
  2. Havnt done the points gap. Will have to read up on that,

    So should I be setting the timing as the points are just opening or just closing.

    Iv done it to points closing, which I think is wrong, so 45 deg should be when they're opening?

  12. Cheers guys, was a real morale booster, hopfully it will prove to be a good unit to see it up and running on the road.

    Still a mystery to how it snapped the arms off though.
     
  13. Hard to say without pulling the engine down for an inspection... :thinking:


    I've had it happen, but on some rockers that I went a bit mad clearancing for swivel feet adjusters...
