Considering it’s probably one of the most used classics on this forum (unless i am mistaken) it’s probably not too bad!😂

Good you've got it sorted John and easy to get something wrong too.

I check these things so many times (cambelts too) that I start to question myself and if you're seeing something right or wrong as you keep looking at it again and again after rotating the engine  :)

At least we know the affect that's resulting from this definitively now for the forum   ;D ;D

No harm done anyway.

Copied here from another thread as it adds to this topic.

 "As Ted has noted it in another thread,  thought I'd add something to the check list.

When it's "hanging" try gently bringing the choke into operation and see if that's going to slow down the idle.

But also don't forget the basic reality check of all cylinders firing, indication of operational idle fuel jets etc (even if they've been cleaned) do this by stating it cold, run 30 sec, then switch off. Now check exhaust headers for temp and any cold cylinder.  Cheap,and easy to do, a cold one and it'll never have competent idle running, whatever you do or adjust.

As noted in thread too with John's experience, they'll run with camshaft timed out by a tooth, but you'll get problems again getting it to run correctly."
