Using a strobe to check my 2.25 patrol timing after tuning it by ear it is about 45 degrees out on number 1 cylinder! I presume someone has not lined the timing marks up properly at some time when reassembling the engine. Is there another explanation?
The engine is also very lumpy (even though it sounds best where the distributor is set at the moment) but I discovered when trying the strobe on the other cylinders that I am only getting sporadic sparks on 3 and 4. So its back into the Ducellier to fit the genuine Land Rover points I got on eBay and take the Britpart ones out!
Getting the engine to run smoothly is taking longer than it took to repaint the whole vehicle and service the front axle!
