styler Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 Yeah must do base timing with vac advance off. Quote
KE ping it real Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Posted May 9, 2012 Great, thank you for all your help guys By the sounds of it we were using the wrong tools........US Will have a go at setting the timing without the vac advance on and see how that goes Thanks again Andrew Quote
ke70dave Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 mech advance should do its thing no matter how you set it though? Quote
KE ping it real Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Posted May 9, 2012 mech advance should do its thing no matter how you set it though? Absolutely, but my thinking is i can't get the proper advance because what i thought was 15deg was more like a 0 or negative base and i was only getting 15 when i raised the revs up I think anyway, i don't really know, i am confused but learning :) Quote
ke70dave Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 try any thing once hey. remember that vacuum advance doesnt do anything for you when you put your foot down, at wide open throttle vacuum is at minimal. As far as i understand vac advance is used mainly for emissions type stuff, helps burn everything completely when you have high vacuum (idle, high revs but off throttle etc) Quote
KE ping it real Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Posted May 9, 2012 HaHa, Yeah i guess i might have confused the mechanical advance not working for the timing being set to retarded to begin with...... much like myself Quote
KE ping it real Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Posted May 13, 2012 Ok so dizzy is now working :party: It seems (and I'm not sure of all the correct part names here) but the centre part underneath the modules that is connected to the weights was slightly seized to the shaft so the mechanical advance wasnt actually working, like it was locked Got it freed up and advances really well now Still may need to play with the curve though, we set the base timing at 20 deg and still couldnt get it to ping so will play with it a little more and see itf the springs need to be changed I love the torque and power of the 7k though!! Farkurnelll even un tuned there was a massive increase over the little 4k can't wait to see how it goes with a good tune Quote
KE ping it real Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Posted May 13, 2012 I also hav a Brand new Bosch MEC718 coil to install next weekend as well s that will no doubt help Quote
