The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Stovebolts can be really annoying!

Just adjusted spark timing again.

-Turned engine over feeling #1 piston come up with a wire. At TDC the wire stops moving. Adjusted distributor to point at #1.

-Confirmed compression stroke by cranking again and watching the rotor point to #1, plug out, feeling for compression with finger over hole to confirm I'm on the right cycle - OK.

-Did wire test again while watching the rotor. The piston reaches TDC on the compression stroke as the piston can be felt coming up to TDC while remote cranking.

-Confirmed spark at plug by watching the spark happen with plug removed.

-Crank, crank, crank... nothing

I'm done for today
