Afternoon all,

trying to get the beast running a bit better and i need clarification on something...

When timing a 1.9wbx DG code engine does the vaccum hose to the dizzy need to be disconnected and blanked??
Mr Haynes says it does but ive been reading some stuff on here and im not totally sure.

ANY help apprechiated.

ta!

i beleive you just dissconect vacume pipe whilst timing dont think you blank it off,mine dosent but some have an idle unit left hand side by solenoid this to is disconected.i think im right someone will shout if not good luck.

what he said - as you are only setting timing at idle. I know it costs, but a dyno tune type tune up will pay for itself in time. Whilst you are at it, check that the vacuum advance unit is not faulty, by sucking the tube, you should here the internal diaphram 'click' and you shouldnt be able to continue sucking then....

yeh i would like to get a dyno tune / rolling road but i have no idea where i can get it done... any ideas??

Did timing with vac off, pulls much better. Thanks!

Never heard that bit about internal clicking in vac module.....mine sot of continus to be suckable a bit and sounds almost as if its wet or there's some petrol in there or something?
