CHESTNUTXE 7,311 Posted April 4, 2016 ha ha  yes it turns out my mate who helps me put the motor in broke the vaccum tree and instead of telling me he shoved it in the end of the dizzy with the rubber block off ,it was wedged in so hard,the bloke at the machine shop was laughing his ass off,it goes in fine now,and timing is set at 10 deg ,first start coming soon.

bear351c 10,270 Posted April 5, 2016 Check your firing order? 13726548 (I think) Â anti clockwise. dizzy out 180*,? igniton leads on wrong plug? Â Balancer should be at approx 10 degrees, No.1 TDC, compression stroke. 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,311 Posted April 5, 2016 ok firing order is correct,10 deg is what i have,with the compression and exhaust stroke is it all in 360 deg or 1 turn of the balancer or is it 2 turns ? i obviously have got it out of sync with the correct stroke,so please correct me if wrong do i pull the dizzy and rotate the engine another full turn or only 180 deg ?

Thom 6,651 Posted April 5, 2016 Pull the dizzy an turn it 180 degrees 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted April 5, 2016 Pull #1 plug and turn motor till you feel compression on the plug hole with a finger over it, then you know. Failing that, pull the left rocker cover and watch #6 rocking. 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,311 Posted April 5, 2016 ok i see so 2 turns of the crank is 1 turn of the dizzy,right ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
