    Default 1300 first time start up-more problems

    After sorting a few other problems it still won't start

    -it has fuel injection system now working
    -cam and crank timed correctly
    -no 1 on dizzy cap lined up with rotor arm
    -it has spark when plug placed on exhaust mani
    -oil pressure has come up a bit
    -plugs gapped to 0.6mm

    But still won't start ????

    It has a Kent ast2 cam with adjustable venier wheel, could this be where the problem lies ?

    It has 15 degrees adjustment either way currently set on zero, is this correct ?

    The cap and arm are not genuine, is this going to cause any probs ?

    After 4 days of tinkering with it I fed up now

    I would suspect if I towed it and bumped it if might start but as it has no brakes I can't

    With it being a newly rebuilt engine I'm suspecting this could also be a problem maybe ?

    Any help/ideas/experiences ??? I would really appreciate it

    If you have spark (and compression!) then it must be fuel related...

    Are you getting fuel to the rail?

    If so, then it should fire - even if teh timing is miles out it will still try and run!

    None of teh above things would stop it running (cam etc)

    It's got fuel to the rail, took the rail off and fired fuel out of the injectors to check

    I've not checked the compression tbh as I would think that is fine, maybe the next thing to check, engine was rebuilt before me putting it in

    Here are the timing figures for your cam: 36/74 74/36

    and inlet timing at full lift: 109 degrees

    That will be of some use mate cheers

    Going to pick up a compression tester after work but I can't think that is the problem tbh it seems timing related now

    have you put brand new plugs in it?

    or tried easystart down the intake to see if the electrics work?

    The injectors work I've fired fuel out of them
