Good evening to all...
Here's what I have done : Set the timing static at 10 BTCD, check that the
rotor was at #1 position when at TDC on the crankshaft. Here what I have now :
when I crank, nothing at all, when I stop cranking, the two carbs shoot a very
low sound backfire with smoke. There is some smoke coming out of the exhaust...
Could my mechanic did something wrong with the timing at crank and cam? I am a
bit disappointed about all this, after two weeks of exam and dreaming about the
6 nothing is working... I got to get this thing on the road by saturday ( Prom
day!!)
