cheers for the help guys.... :grin:

got up this morning ,pis5ing with rain,and was ready to get tucked in.....

all sorts whizzing through ma head,timing,timing marks,towing,stripping bits,etc etc you all know what im saying...

and then a flash of inspiration,re check what has already been done,ht leads,earths,plugs,dissy,and to check that my firing order of 1432 is cool.....

a quick search,and bing bang bong....sommits no right........the firing order i think ( again THINK ) is right is actually wrong the firing order is 1342............could it be as simple as that?

well a quick check,and im sitting drinking a coffee after 3 mins while the auld yin heats her wee heart oot...

thanks for all the help guys.........always makes sense to talk to others,always puts a different veiw on things.......

thanks again............................im out doing the timing now..!!!
