datzenmike Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Pull the coil wire off..... got spark when cranking??? Is distributor plugged in? Bolted down snug so it's well grounded? Quote Link to comment
SolidZ24x4 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Definitely have spark to the dist. Is bolted down well, all wires connected. I've checked the oil spindle a bunch, Quote Link to comment
SolidZ24x4 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Perhaps the spindle is one notch too far ccw? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 If you are on TDC compression stroke on #1 cylinder then...... this is perfectThe rotor under the cap has two contacts for two sets of wires from two coils. The intake rotor should be pointing to about 9 o'clock and the exhaust rotor about 4 o'clock. On the cap above the rotor is Intake 1 at 9 o'clock and Exhaust 1 at 4 o'clock. Finger on Intake one. Exhaust one is three positions counter clockwise. Quote Link to comment
SolidZ24x4 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 How do I determine if the TDC is exhaust or compression stroke? It is possible I set that on the exhaust stroke... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Take the valve cover off. Compression stroke on number one will see the cam lobes like this... front one (exhaust) at about 8 o'clock and the intake behind it at about 4 o'clock as viewed from the front. Both valves will be closed. Quote Link to comment
SolidZ24x4 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Okay, I was setting the oil spindle to the exhaust stroke. Flipped it around and bingo. Really appreciate your help!!! Quote Link to comment
SolidZ24x4 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 is that the beginning or the top of the lobe? Quote Link to comment
SolidZ24x4 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 theres a weird whine after i got it started up, first i thought it was an uneven belt, or the fan, but its pretty loud. I'm thinking the cam is off by a tooth or three. If theres a problem to be found in this project; ill find it. Quote Link to comment
