All new cap and rotor with the new dizzy.

Good point....wonder why its only 12v on HT?

Hello, So fitted new fancy accuspark dizzy with electronics and no points. New plugs and new coil with the kit. Set engine to 6 degrees BTDC and took old dizzy (Ducellier) out (checked rockers and piston heights to ensure on combustion stroke). Put new dizzy in but no spark. Checked LT...

Right so 10 mins on my back with a wire brush, screwdriver and up and down to rotate the engine finally found the marks on the pulley....6 degrees ATDC to 6 degrees BTDC.....now where is the tipex?

Think it varies per engine....mine defo only has a single pointer engine side.

Thanks....wire brush time. Is it a nick or are there small marks instead with 6,3, TDC 3 ATDC, 6ATDC? Engine is military recon with a 5 MB oil filler (cant guarantee its 5 MB.

So todays job is static then dynamic timing. Mine has the single pointer on the crank case pointing to the crank pulley. But for the life of me i cant find any marks on the crank pulley. So couple of questions, are the marks on the pulley edge nearest or furthest from the engine. Are the marks...

Silly me, as its got one large and one small bearing must be pre 1980....should of thought of that before

Afternoon all. Changing font hub oil seal on my 1965 S2a and noticed the stub axle is marked and has a lot of wear. Now the question is how do i know if its the early (2 piece with seperate land) or later 1 piece stub axle? Although its a 65 S2a its has 6 pot series 3 axles added at one...

My S3 had fog lights and hazards from new. Centre panel in dash with switch's for both and a brake fail warning light. Only fitted with one fog light and no reverse. Autosparcs rear loom came with two fog light cables, one for each side.

Red and yellow is definitely fog lights, just rewired mine. No reverse on mine so no idea what colour it should be

Its only because its been sat for a bit and i had to move two 110's out the way to move the S3.....oh and the front tyres were down to 20 psi

So got the back body back on, electrics sorted, tank reconnected and few final jobs to get the old thing moving after a couple of years. Blimey, you do forget how heavy the steering is and rubbish the breaks are....time for a sit down and a calming cup of tea.

Take the outlet line off and then get someone to crank the engine with your finger over the outlet feeling for pressure.

Are you sure the pump isn't doing anything on the engine. Has similar problem on mine and had to blow through the fuel lines and replace the in line fuel filter as they were blocked. Hadn't been running for two years.

Diesels are really loud....i mean really loud. Usual checks...chassis for rust, rear cross member, front dumb irons etc... Bulkhead around door pillars and vents.

Goes to show, always check the small things. Turns out it was an oversize fuel pipe into the carb that wasnt nipped up. Easy fix....phew.

yeah, really need to take it apart....bugger!!

SO finally getting my S3 Hicap 2.25 petrol going after 2 years. New fuel tank, fuel pump (mechanical) and fresh fuel before starting. Started after blowing through fuel line from Tank to pump and fuel filter before carb. Dows start on choke but now petrol all around the base of carb and looks...

Its a S3 Hicap so no room for the seat to go further back. Did the same in my 110 CSW.
