Hi All,
Weather got cold today in the UK..
Thought I'd drive to work and check out the new jets on my carbs this
morning.
Only problem, car wouldn't start.
This is a problem that seems to have occured since I took the car for a
"professional" tune up..
The "professional" set the timing to give max BHP, but unfortunately
left it pinging under load at low revs.
Would the incorrect timing also effect the ability to start. The engine
turns over, but seems to part fire, stopping the starter motor in its
tracks...
Thanks for any suggestions
Tim
