nova wont idle

[millworm]

is it hunting on idle? worth checking mate, did the belt go back on well or might it have jumped a tooth

[Matt H]

it wont idle at all and im pretty sure the timing is spot on just don't know about the ignition advance/retard

[Nobby]

You defo sure its timed right?

[Matt H]

pretty sure but no way of telling now really is there?

[mowgli]

is the dizzy advance working?? try turning the dizzy body whilst its running to see if its any better

O_O

how on earth did you time it then? All you have to do is pop the timing cover off and turn it over until the marks line up.

[Nobby]

If it was fine before, you have comp tested it, you have fuel and spark, then I would 100% check the timing what way did you line it up?

[Matt H]

I used the marks but if its jumped a tooth that's why but the marks still line up if I turn it by hand twice

[Nobby]

get some pics of the timing marks
