starting trouble for 1602

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi Everyone

I am after a bit of help please, I have just carried out an engine and 

gearbox change on my 1602. I have everything connected corectly, I 

think! 

But it will just not fire up, petrol is getting through and I have sparks at 

he plugs. The starter motor is turning the engine and every so often there 

is a poping release of pressure coming from the engine, this seems to 

happen quite a bit when I press the accelerator (It may just be a 

coincidence though)

Any help and advice would be great!

Thanks Matt

	perhaps the dizzy has moved.. or been put on 180 degress out. Try turning the distributor as you crank the engine. Edited by Nick

	I recently helped a mate put a motor in his 02, Could not get it started for the life of us, stured out the motor was rebuilt before and the bottom end was 180 out so we were firing no 4 when we should have fired up no 1, Check with a Timimg Stroble Light on no 4 rather than no 1 and swap out your leads 180 degrees so 1,3,4,2 becomes 4,2,1,3 if you get my juist!
