Hi, I have same issue. DG engine. After full rebuild timed ignition and found vacuum advance broken. I bought a cheap one and the engine is now very down on low rpm torque. I feel it is advancing too much. Before the rebuild it had more torque but was set more advanced than it should have been at ti...

As it was running fairly well with the right jets in the right holes I decided to check ignition timing. I found the vacuum retard diaphragm was broken so have replaced that. Timed it to the Haynes manual with vacuum pipe disconnected at 900rpm. With vacuum pipe reconnected it now affects the timing...

Sorry.. that’s what I meant by a plug chop.. pre color tune.. you can probably buy a good electronic analysis tool nowdays

Thanks for reply. I have looked up an image of that carb and it’s not a 34 dat. I will at some stage try and find out what it is! In the meantime I have swapped jets a couple of times and decided it runs much better one way round and plug chops are generally good colour so sorted for now. I also fou...

As an idea would I be right in thinking that the larger jet with the biggest hole would go with the larger choke diameter?

Just rebuilt my t25. I left the carb untouched and in start up it was very erratic. I have a twin choke Weber on it and found the main jet was blocked. (Very) stupidly have mixed up the main jets for the first choke and the second choke. They are different bore sizes and have different drillings. (T...

Flywheel rotated by 1/5 rotation. All working fine and starter engaging every time. Thanks for advise

Is it worth drilling a hole for the dowel in the flywheel or just removing dowel from crankshaft I wonder. I guess if it pulls out easily…still getting over 2 broken head studs and crankcase welding on eroded water jacket.. so trying to save the environment and the cash..

Useful info thanks. I will reuse the flywheel now I can rotate it 1/5 .

I want to rotate my flywheel by a fifth of a rotation as the ring gear is worn in the normal crank stopping places. It has a dowel in the crank so I would drill another hole in the next quadrant of the flywheel holes. Is there any reason the crank has a dowel and any reason I can’t rotate by a fifth...
