Hi I have had a look through but have only skimmed over bits of what maybe the answer -
Cambelt needed changing, being mega consciencious barred her over, checked there were no issues with the pistons/valves knocking, then checked all valve clearances, so I thought job done, belt changed no issues! but now the engine won't start and just turns over.
So problem must be fuel timing, so I took belt back off, moved one tooth round on fuel timing sprocket (just in case I was tooth out upon fitting belt, tried again, no joy, so moved 2 teeth the other way (to cover movement +/- 1 of original either way, still no joy.
So thought i'll retime her properly then, as upon closer inspection my crank / cam was 1 out from a previous change. Sorted that and I thought i'd aligned the fuel timing correctly but she still wont start now. Anyone had anything similair/any ideas what I can try next.
Next issue I need to re charge the battery before I try again!
TIA
