First start up after rebuild help. Possibly points not timed correctly

<< < (2/3) > >>

Dolomite_:
After taking the points disk off have a fettle and putting it back on, I was able to get them set correctly. And it started up pretty much straight away with no choke! Exhaust is a little blowy because the clamps arent tight but other than that it seems good. The oil light went out after a couple of seconds just cranking it over and when actually firing it up I got some oil splats of my tissue paper from the tappet covers.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Just as an aside the bulb illuminates when the points start to open. This only works if the points base is earthing on the crank case  in the first place iirc  & if that makes sense.

Laverdaroo:
Watch this, this will explain it better for you.

Just follow the steps, it’s dead easy. Might be worth while you looking at the tappet set up film he does also.

Keep at it, you’ll get there

Laveradoo, theyre some of the videos I found. Once I go the points triggering when they should it was pretty straight forward to follow the videos.
