ignition timing df engine

Post by mickeyflyn »

Hi guys,it's been a while since i last posted although i keep an eye on the boards.

i just did the timing on my 1.9 wbxr df engine.new plugs,new dizzy cap and rotor arm.i checked it static first then put the strobe on it with vac disconnected and found it was out a little so reset and connected vac pipe ,it was running a little high on tickover so adjusted and its running fine . Took it for a run with no probs .one little niggle I've had is on tickover now and àgain it just cuts out for no apparent reason ,restarts fine and runs ok until it decides to do it again. Doesn't seem to be àny frequency in cutting out but its annoying. Any ideas would be appreciated. :ok

I'd be checking earths to block by dizzy and check coil connections are good.
