so if i set the timing to 7 degrees btdc then plug the vacum wont it advance 7 to around 10 once pluged in?? i tried this before and it advances it!

thanks!

when i set the timing the vacumm advance is hooked to the manifold as usual

the point are 48 degrees

does this sound right??

thanks!

hi thanks the idle air fuel mixture screw in the middle doesnt do anything i turn it all the way in when the engine is on and theres no difference fully in our out in engine revs or anything is this normal what could be wrong??

thanks!

nice find i personaly havnt seen it before

nice black 120y i want to paint mine like that now!! LOL

as most of you know i have recently rebuilt my a12 engine its all up and running just have a few problems!

firstly in the owners manual it says the car should idle at 750rpm at 7 degres btdc on p my engine at the moment is at 1000rpm at idle in p if i try to got lower it starts shaking badly when put in drive!

also the engine idles okay at 1000rpm but why does the engine sort of go high and low at idle on the tacho it goes up and down like 50rpm??

thanks!

hi i have put the exhaust back on there is now sound of knocking now oil pressure came up as soon as the engine started, the head and rocker arm got oil in few seconds of starting!

hope its all good just need to adjust the timing and idle mixture!

thanks!

hi thanks i had my distributor a cyl 4 instead of 1 so your right it started right up!

i have this light knock kind of sound but i havnt connected the exhaust yet its only the manifold so could it be just the sound i just dont want it to be the valves hitting somthing i set it to 0.25 with feeler guage befeore i started it cold so should it be okay??

thanks!

i have the dristibutor so when the engine is tdc its at piston one the the rotor points at 1 i think it points at 1 when the exhaust valve just closes and the inlet opens!

does this sound right!

thanks!

hi i have rebuilt the engine in my 120y its a a12 and i just got time to put every thing else in like the starter and stuff!

so im trying to start it and nothing it turns over fine but dosnt even sputter! wehn i give it a little throttle it will go bang and smoke comes out of the carby??

what could be wrong i needed it started by today?

thanks!
