Need help starting a virgin engine
 

Hi guys,

After a weekend of no luck, im hopeful to get some advice here that may help me get my engine going.

It's a fresh rebuilt half bridge 13b. GSLSE housings, S5 na rotors, 12a irons
Has a new 48ida weber carb (a/f screws are turned ~1.5 turns out) and full rb exhuast.

Going off rb's chart ( http://www.racingbeat.com/manuals/timingchart.pdf ) , i am setting my timing to 20* before TDC. dizzy (84/85 electronic) is locked and set in the center - neither advanced nor retarded.
My fuel pressure regulator can be set between 4-9 and i think im somewhere around 5psi right now, getting an inline gauge today

i am pretty close and it wants to start but no luck. got a couple of backfires shooting fireballs out but ive only had it running once for about 2 seconds. any idea's? is -20* correct for my timing ?

oddly enough, fixed my own issue. reset to 5* past tdc, 48ida left alone with a/f 1.5 screwed out and she fired right up. extremely surprised but w/e :)

ya must have rubbed her the right way Shoobs..to have 'er fire right up...LOL!
The virgin I was with said I wasn't doin it right!:scratch:
