Seems weird, got the engine sorted but it now has a weird problem.

When i put my foot down on my 2.25 petrol at idle, theres a huge sucking noise coming from the air filter, the engine kinda falters, THEN kicks in. Is my timing still out just a teeny bit?

Further point. It seems to stop doing it when it warms up. And i have pre-ignition when i turn it off a little. Must be timing

get it running then turn yer dizzy anti-clockwise a bit then turn it slowly clockwise till it just starts to pick up speed and lock it in place.
yer timing will now be correctly set to suit yer fuel and injun

remember that bolt fer locking it in place is a 'pinch' bolt not a 'do the ****er up as tight as yer can' bolt

Ps
Have a look at your carb as on some of them (Weber's) there is a boost pump that puts a extra shot of fuel in when you put your foot down and its rubber diafram does go also check the vacuum advance works and there are no leaks.
