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 ?
