I just setup my carbureted 2056 with 123Ignition distributor and cannot get it started.
Basics: Compression is good, new dual carbs and there is spark. I have read several methods of setting static timing, Method 1: 123 manual says set timing marks at 0 TDC and turn distributor till light turns green, I did that, no Joy. Method 2: Set timing marks at 7.5 BTDC and turn distributor till light turns green, I did that, it sounded more like it wanted to start but no joy. Should I continue to advance the timing? |
