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? |

What Flaca said... you don't just turn it... align the rotor to the #1 plug wire while at TDC. Then power it up. turn COUNTER CLOCKWISE until the light turns green. Back it off till it turns off and then back to "just turning green." you want to be just at that edge of it turns on. You then push the rotor (not the whole dizzy) slightly clockwise (the direction the rotor turns) and make sure it stays green while you snug down the dizzy. You are static.
