    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

well, I have everything together, now I have spark occasionally. I set the #4 piston at the top ( the side my points are on), intake valve just closed,and the exhaust is closed,timming marks lined up on govener with the mark just at the T like the manual said to, and the marks on my cam chain gears are set right, #1 to the front at the edge of gasket #2 pointed straight up, and #3 pointed strait up, 20 teeth apart. what should my points be doing on the 1-4 set and the 2-3 set??
currently 1-4 are open like there at the top of the lobe. and 2-3 are closed. did I put this together 180 out???
 
I'm pretty sure #1 is supposed to be at TDC when the cams are timed.
 
gday mate.#1 and #4 will be at TDC.Both will fire at the same time even though one[not#1] will be on exhaust stroke.And at TDC for 1 and 4 the points will have just closed.
 
The crank trigger will be pointing to the left with the T mark lined up and #1 all the way up. Always time the cams in with TDC on #1.
 
further to my last.The points may not be closed but they will have fired.Chef is,I assume,talking about a CDI [transistor]ignition.Which would be pointing to the left but will have past the actual "trigger point"[If 1 and 4 are at TDC]I havent actually run a points ignition since my last BSA so im not sure if your points ARE closed at TDC.But they will have just fired.[Or should have:rolleyes:]Have a good day.
