Is it possible? I'm away at the moment in the van and I'm almost sure the timing is out, she's running lumpy and stinking of fuel, I've not got my strobe with me so can't check it the easy way.
Setting timing without strobe?

I'm in Hythe in Kent, anyone know anywhere nearby that might be worth popping to? I'm on lower wall road.

I've just adjusted the points, put the dizzy back together and now she won't even turn over? What's going on?
Use bulb with wires on it and connect one wire on ground and other on wire that goes to ignition.
with hand move engine and bulb had to turn on when mark on pulley past center of block for arround 1 cm.
If is like that the timing is correct if not adjust it, watch that you are on 1st cylinder not on 3.

Got it sorted, one of my ht leads had given up so I wasn't getting a spark at all, all done now, timing is slightly out but il sort that tomorrow with a strobe when I get home, so a strobe seems to have been added to the list of things to carry!! :|
