3. RE: starting a new 6 engine (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 08:46:07 -0600charset="iso-8859-1"; It sure sounds like the timing is 180 degrees out. Another post is correct, the valves would both be closed on the compression stroke In other words, I believe you are sparking on the downstroke prio; /html/triumphs/2000-04/msg01443.html (8,970 bytes)

Of course, then you'll need to actually set the timing to 12 BTDC, using a test light or some such to see when the points open. BTW, like most en; /html/triumphs/2000-04/msg01459.html (7,614 bytes)
