1300 first time start up-more problems

[mowgli]

well, if the fuel isn't getting in right, then the easy start will make it fire as long as the spark side is right.

but eliminating the cam timing issue is your first priority.

[Edd]

Going by the crank pulley notch/pointer and the mark on the cam pulley it's timed correctly

I'm a bit stumped with the 30 degrees of adjustment on the pulley tho

Will try some easy start as well

dont go to mad with the easy start the engine will rely on it to start

Edd, not that I am an expert......

When I built my SR engine, I fitted a Holbay 270 (Softish) cam to run on Irmscher inj, as a taller cam can upset the Flapper unit, due to air reverberation in the inlet, although she is still on Sport forties

AST2 is a 290 duration I don't think it will run well, hope it does, but you may have other issues.

Your adjustable Cam gear, should be set to zero, inless you have clocked it in.

sorry, but that is cobblers, the same as 'you shouldn't give a diesel engine too much Heat'

I agree, although it takes a while to Shagg the engine (and in general they are badly worn to need it anyway), if it isn't picking up with easy start (whether there's petrol or not) I'd look elsewhere

Alot of heat and easy start is funny (if you are at home don't try it kids )

[mowgli]

easy start is also a really good way of knocking out a guard dog, so i'm told...

basically anything to do with ether is fun...

[Edd]

Mmmmmm maybe the cam is not suitable then with the injection system ????

Think I'll easy start then

If I take off the afm and it fires up will this tell me that the cam is not suitable for the injection system ?

[mowgli]

can you post up pics of the connector to the afm..

i have a gm diagnostic box for the later jetronic systems, it might fit. if so, i'd lend you it.

i can't see how the cam would have an adverse effect on the running, the injection was invented for competition use.

i reckon there could be a timing issue, have you tried getting someone to turn it over, & moving the dizzy at the same time?
