    having trouble with my engine

    hey dudes i got a 250 crossflow. it all ways seems to run like its 180 degree out in the timing. i dont know if its a dizzy thing because i got with the engine a dizzy without a vacuum line. so i decided i might give that a try. i just plugged up the vacuum line on the manifold. it just seems to backfire out of the carby alot. its got a cam upgrade getting plenty of fuel and its got lots of spark. we tested the front cylinder for dead center and tryed a few things none seem to work. anybody got a idea? i might try swapping the dizzy from the old engine to new see if it helps

    having trouble with my engine

    its a different balancer that its got on it maybe put in wrong spot? i got the engine with all the work done to it before i got my hands on it. it was meant to be a good running engine but. ive checked for other lines marked i haven't noticed any. just put dizzy on number 1 with both valves shut. still backfiring carby and no go.

    having trouble with my engine

    what if the its not on tdc when the front 2 valves are closed and a fair wack away from tdc? stick dizzy in on number one when the valves are down and forget about tdc? lol and should i use the old vacuum dizzy any major difference?

    LPG and cold starts

    lpg shouldn't freeze up if its pure. but with all the impurities in the gas from usual servos. the impurities will freeze up. at least thats my understanding of it anyway. if you fill up at say supergas or something then you shouldn't get all the impurities. and yes mine is duel fuel but petrol doesn't seem to work so i tuned it for gas. i dont use petrol in it anyway. problem with my system i tend to think that the negative on the coil isn't all that good. or the negative wire. i found the wire there where they actually cut the wire. tried re-attaching it and i had problems with starting in the cold. i had problems when i got to 120 'i done it in a quiet spot' then the it start surging a bit. though getting the pulse feed from the spark plug leads. it starts up with hardly any problems. freezing, cold and warm with only a couple turns. and no surging problems at 120. i figure im not going to bother about it until i need a new coil. it still gets good spark

    LPG and cold starts

    i seem to have this weird ass problem with my ute. i tried having the pulse wire connected to the neg of the coil. like you should see on most. but when it was cold. it was a real uber c**t to start. i tried wrapping it back around the spark leads. i wrapped it around a couple to make sure 1-5 like it originally had. hardly have a drama starting it up. real weird issue but you can maybe try that

    air conditioner pump

    g'day i was looking for ideas on how to remove the compressor for the air conditioner. i was thinking just cut it off from the firewall. shouldn't be any coolant running through the pipes or anything should there? i was thinking of doing it roughly for now. then remove it properly. when i finally get around to ripping the dash out
