with my spout disconnected, using a timing gun i get 15*-20*,
fluctuates when it misses , in drive, as per haynes
never goes below 15* to the 10* that it should be with spout disconnected.
my question-
can i just rotate the synchronizer until it times at 10* and clamp it down?
with the crank at Number 1 TDC compression reading 0 on crank, my syncro will never drop down and face perfectly straight ahead with the tool on, always points at 7 or 5 oclock, never perfect 6
starts right up first thing in morning but always long cranking starts once its been driven and sitting for little, if turn off and try to start right away it will fire right up
always smells like raw fuel and fuel smokey once it does start, so its getting fuel, almost everything has been replaced but my time BASE timing is off
