Default Re: Engine not starting - checked everything - no more idea

I had the same thing after rebuilding the engine. Everything was OK, but it did not run !

Finally checked the camshaft timing. That was completely wrong, 10% off !

Do check the timing, cam gear dot to the right edge of the crank gear peg.

Wish you luck !

Henk

Did you paint the engine and leave tape over the intake and exhaust holes? I did that

The car runs fine, tried it for a ride about 25 km - last week. This weekend heavy rain here near the dutch border.

@Henk / Hazelhoff: Did you send the rain?

I would suspect the gav needle is broke off at the tip ,with a new needle inserted into it. thus working as though the valve was turned all the way in. there beirng no adjustment.

That was why I asked two posts back if he had it running.
