Reply To: setting the timing and points

Gears are OK – because I have a 502 engine in a 501 frame the pedal works back to front due to the way lever is pivoted.

I spent Sunday resetting the timing – the plate did end up in a different position than I had it before. But starting still hard – fuel in the plug hole got it going for a while. I am going to try a different carb at the weekend. Perhaps Gordon is right and there is an air leak somewhere.
