that would be the ignition timing
that would be the ignition timing
Tut, tut... its in the same manual you downloaded for the clutch adjustment
Remove plugs and leave the LH one in the pluglead but earthed on the cylinder.
Find the Z mark on the flywheel through the hole near the dipstick. That's the static mark.
Turn beancan (with ignition on) until the plug sparks. That will give you a very basic timing. Then get a strobe and check the dynamic timing (the S mark on flywheel) - or go to a garage for this bit... a car place can do it.

Any ideas Plzzzzzzzz
Just had a thought about this timing problem!! could it have something to do with the new clutch I replaced, am I right in thinking the timing marks are on the clutch components and not the flywheel.Tut, tut... its in the same manual you downloaded for the clutch adjustment

Yup, you are adjusting the engine to suit the timing spark
....line up the Z and then turn the beancan to get the spark ( not visa versa )

1/ Z mark lined up with engine case timing mark hole by dipstick..2/ turn ignition on...3/ turn been can until you get spark at plug..= static timing.. Now the problem I can NOT get a spark when Z mark is lined up with line on engine case timing mark hole by dipstick.
If i turn the engine a little more so that Z marks is out of view,,,, then turn the been can,, I get a spark at the plug..... clearly this is not right it should only spark when the Z mark is lined with the mark on the engine case????....
Yes John, we renewed the timing chain, this was my first thought if the chain is out of line it is possible it would give this problem,. We are 99.9% that the chain was fitted correctly. We also replaced the clutch but DID NOT remove the fly wheel this is why I asked the question regarding the timing marks been on the fly wheel or clutch, we did however fit the pressure plate 120 degrees from the mark as stated in the manual.

Oops...
Quick, before Steptoe comes along... Repeat procedure using the S mark!!!
If you have the PDF manual is page 2.15
