However,
I put the timing light on each of the plug leads and was really
confused
at what I saw.
#1, both lead and trail, 35 degrees before TDC So good so far.
Timing marks on the
pulley are set for timing on rotor one. Spark on #2 should be 120 degrees
later (40 degrees rotation of rotor) and another 120 degree later on rotor 3. I
don’t know about ‘waste’ sparks, but it does seem you should
see consistent sparks at the right place for each rotor.
I
am hopeing that the extra length of my embilical
cord
from the firewall to engine (Seawind) accounts for all of that, but I
have
a hard time convincing myself that is so.
What do you mean by ‘embilical’
cord engine (I think the word is umbilical) – wires from the box to the
engine? Do you have the ‘triggering’ leads from box to coils
separated from the leads from the CAS to the box? I think inductive
coupling there could be a problem, even if the CAS leads are shielded. I’m
sure you’ve double checked all the coil wiring, ground points, etc.
Good luck,
Al
Any
other good ideas?????
