Mike Bilney Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hi - my name is Mike Bilney, you may have heard of my PI service reputation. [seeTR register] - is your engine PI or Carbs? - assume you checked PI system for pump running, and injectors working? - sugg you try using tuning kit adaptor - contains transparent spark plug pedestal so that you can check if there is a spark when under cylinder pressure. Bet you have only checked it at atm pressure. - is the timing and dizzy OK? - valve cam timing ? - if it starts and runs for short time sounds like fuel starvation so would recommend checking the PI system Good luck!! MGB. PS - I have clients all over the World so you may want to look at the services ad section on the TR register - and spread the word!! thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
