help with timing marks, mine are out or am I wrong

[geedubyagraham]

Set up timing this morning as discussed and it runs a little better but I still feel it is over fueling slightly and holding back slightly, im not happy about the fly wheel being on wrong even if its not affecting the running its one of those things that niggle at me

It could also be the mix, take it to a friendly mot garage and get the mix set just right, my garage does this for free. If it's lumpy it might not just be the timing, check everything else that are normal culprits aswell before you give up.

Yeah I was thinking that today and im also thinking air getting in some where, I had a quick look today but couldnt see anything obvious so sprayed wd40 around a few places and found nothing, is there any common places on gti 8v?

same problem this week with the flywheel on wrong. You can fit them on wrong but they should match up to dowels but easily forgotten about. Pain in the A**

Just yesterday I got piston 1 at the highest point and marked that as TDC on the flywheel. This is in the centre of the hole.

then 6 deg before tdc now approx. 18mm-ish ahead of the TDC mark.

I hate timing digi's. They never run right first time.

The hesitation you have is a badly setup engine. Needs more tuning!

Yeah im gonna get it set up properly soon and tuned anyone offering??

Ring around and speak to the tuners. If they don't know what they're talking about find someone else. Before  I learnt to tune my car I called a mobile mechanic, guy turned up without a timing gun and didn't have a clue what he was doing.
