[QUOTE="philstar, post: 634920, member: 17600"] I've been out on this again this evening and noted the following: The distributor is quite stiff and always tries to spring back to a "favourite" position—is this normal? The [URL='https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07ZJFD5JX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title']timing light[/URL] I am using is always on, rather than being off and coming on. Also, it only seems to work when I rotate the engine backward (anti-clockwise). During normal (clockwise) rotation, the light doesn't ever go off. I have reset the automatic choke once again, but the cam seems awfully loose on the spindle, I'm not happy I've got this very accurate. Still no luck getting it running. If anything it's worse. Doesn't help trying to work on it in the dark and freezing cold! [/QUOTE]
