Something I noticed while playing around with the timing. When idling at about 800rpm and timing set to 10deg everything is well. Then I advance the timing a bit by simply turning the distributor till it's at about 25deg or so. The rpm increases to about 1000. I can only assume it is because the...

Yes indeed, the new timing marks on the pulley are much easier to see with a timing light too. Whlie the engine was in the car I had to use a little mirror to see the ones on the flywheel properly.

Made a little pointer bracket thingy for the pulley, and found TDC with the piston stop. Worked great! Turns out the flywheel's marks were basically spot on anyway...

Smaak my jy voel bietjie ge-affronteer? Anyway, as jy nie regkom nie, gee gerus vir @Jughead 'n luitjie. 'n Beter man met GS'e regmaak gaan jy nie gou kry nie. Hy is al jare op die foum, so gaan ook nie weghardloop met jou geld nie. Die man help graag, moerse behulpsaam. Ek het so 2 jaar terug...

That's beautiful! At least breakfast rides is way more fun on the rocket than in the EV.😋

Ja wanneer die mini klaar is gaan dit 'n moeilike besluit wees oor watter een om te ry, ek meen my rocket staan ook nou al eintlik tè lank. 😔 😔

Ja Builders is crap. But, there is one thing that ours in Centurion sells that is great, and that chamberlains or Mica do not have... loose HT bolts and nuts. They have a counter with HT bolts and nuts, and a few different sizes ziplock bags. You can fill the bag with as many as you want, as...

Can I still crank it with the starter, though?

I'm going to use the starter to crank it to the stop, so I know it has a nice and solid reference position.

So the flywheel, as it attaches to the crank, has a few degrees of play, if I can put it that way. It's not loose, I mean it goes onto the crank with a few degrees tolerance. And the flywheel is marked with the timing marks. So I'm not 100% sure I can trust it's TDC mark. I mean it's close, but...

Now now, pielkoppie, let's not resort to name calling.

He sang the praises of the GS310 on the Bike Show.

Lead acid, I would say.

Lots of swearing you say? I'll fit right in! :ROFLMAO: Sounds like something I'll enjoy watching, I'll go look for him on YT. Thanks!

I am not sure an inverter would like it, if you don't connect a battery. Without a battery the output waveform will be rectified AC, not DC. Or rather, it will be a DC of which the voltage goes up and down continuously. If you want to go that route you should rather add a battery too, which will...

Yes, don't get offended and get your feelings hurt. That's so zef.

Ja daar's een op in Botha laan.

@Chopper thank you very much for this breakdown. I also found some posts on the internet (from 1998, can you believe!) that specifically adressess the vacuum advance on the mini 1275. You are right, of course, there should be no vacuum at idle. The vacuum on these carbs/engines/cars are done...

Wow that was cool to watch! Ingenuity unlimited!

It unmixes paint?
