So I have the 1.8 L engine which looks like it was injection but now has twin carbs so my understanding is that the timing for a 1.8 is 4.5 BTDC but does that need to change because of the now carburettors? And yes I'm having problems starting!

Thanks for all the feedback and info guys and as has been said 1.8 L engines are different with only 7.5 degrees BTDC. HOWEVER are all 1.8L engines originally injection and if they were charged to Webbers at a later stage would that change the timing settings?

HOWEVER are all 1.8L engines originally injection and if they were charged to Webbers at a later stage would that change the timing settings? The 1.8L engine had carbs on it for Europe. It used the same distributor. And of all the stock distributors, the 1.8L distributor is the one to have for carbs. So set it to the factory settings i.e. 7.5 degrees at 900RPM. |
