[Matt-B]

ok ill try that

If it wont fire then you know you have a weak spark is shouldnt take much fuel just to hear fire for a second or two

[Matt-B]

If i took off the trigger wheel, and did not put it back on in the exact same spot? That throw timing off, and make it rich, lean etc

[White325is]

The trigger wheel will only go on one way because it has a locating pin.

[416stroker]

yup

[Matt-B]

Hmm I did not see a locating pin. Just throwing ideas.

If you have fuel and a good spark, all you are missing is timing.

It should My n/v did.


If you didnt set it on the pin you should have seen if it was cocked before you torqued it down? I guess pull it off and check. If you did miss the hole you going to need a new one because its going to be bent.

^ unless the pin fell out.

Possable

There would still be a hole on the mounting face where the crank trigger wheel goes, and a hole for it on the wheel itself. Just line them up, and bolt it down.

My dowel was down in the hole a bit, I just stuck a flathead screwdriver behind it, whacked it once with a hammer, and it popped back up.

i wouldnt say timing is bad.. you have a gremlin somewhere.. split open the harness loom and do a wiggle test..wiggle and tug all your wires while cranking to make sure theyre not in just a bad spot shorting out or giving you an open. fairly easy to do and narrows things down to the wiring rather than mechanical.

AH motherfucking HA

i took trigger wheel off, i had no guide pin, so i went to woodland washington where a guy is parting an e36, stole the pin and gave him 5$, i was about 180degrees off from my timing...

IT WILL RUN TOMORROW I SWEAR
