No thats about it mate, turning the dizzy Anti clockwise will retard the timing on the 1.6.
 

Sweet, I'll give it ago tomorrow morning and hope I don't f*CK anything haha, I'm good with everything else but havnt had to do ignition timing or valve timing yet, or really anything in the bottom end.

Thanks very much guys, much appreciated.

Jus get mate with the spanner losen the dizzy with motor running timing light going turn dizzy to were u want n do it up...
Can do it with 1 person but its a **** load easier to do with 2 people jus easier to turn dizzy and tighten while the lights on...

Okay yehh, I'll see if I can get a second pair of hands, if not I'll take on the challenge myself. I love learning how to do things myself :)


Thanks again,
Brandon.

Okay! Set the timing to 12deg. And I also found a really good site on the net that explains how to tune a 32/36. So I retuned my carby (didnt really want to because I had to get tas to tune it last time because after a rebuilt it I didn't know anything about the dgvs and didnt know what to do)

But! I gave it ago and got it pretty spot on and probably even better then before, and while I was at it I found a small hole in the carby where the choke was that never had been blocked off (the carb came without a choke as the choke housing has a screw stuck in there and the head ripped off).

I always thought there was a leak cause when I revved it in neutral it didnt rev straight down it had a spot that stayed for a bit. So I plugged that up an it is all good now.

It also had a bit of a flat spot at about 1500rpm but that Is now gone :)

I Had it dynod a while back when it was auto and had the full standard exhaust, and didn't have the tune it has now, it made 43.1hp at the wheels :D so with the manual in and the tune and full exhaust system hopefully will have a few more hp now. Definatly going to Dyno it ASAP.


Thanks again for the help guy, much appreciated.

Well done mate, good to hear you getting it sorted.
I enjoy learning new stuff too, the moment the light turns in the head on how the thing is supposed to go is classic.

Thanks mate. And yeh I agree.

I had no clue as to how a timing light worked, untill I thought long and hard and it came to me that I flashes like a strobe light and you can see the mark and what not. Haha.

Thanks again.
