thanks , me too lol

Thanks for the videos, I’m in the same process of getting my 2.25 to start

[@RuthHudson-vo8lp]

Have you checked the timing?? Just a thought. Full marks for effort though!! All the best.

[@MR-dv6ms]

Line up the timing mark and then check rotor position of distributor that it on the 1st cylinder lead

[@PaulMcGuinness]

Is the toilet roll between the seats for when you come to test the brakes? (speaking as a Series 2a owner!) 😂

[@tomw7334]

Is the distributor definitely seated correctly and engaged? I had a similar issue on my Series 2A - it turned out I had the wrong distributor base plate for my engine - there's a taller one and shorter one, so even though the distributor was bolted down, it wasn't actually engaging the drive gear below, and the engine wouldn't fire.

Keep at it buddy, I think that was a replacement Distrubuter ? checks its not 180 degrees out and as your doing be methodical

[@richardbarton6647]

Plugs didn't look wet maybe worth checking carb hasn't got a blocked jet

[@joshswan7784]

Is the timing right? Try rotating the distributor slightly to see if the spark is happening at the right time

[@TheRetroSeries2a]

static timing seems spot on, i'm getting a spark as it hit's tdc on the compression stroke!

[@mattluszczak8095]

The fuel can needs to be higher up

[@jpbosscha]

It looks like you connected the spark plug wires incorrectly

[@TheRetroSeries2a]

nope, 1342 firing order, rotar arm pointing to number one lead at 3Deg TDC👍

[@MR-dv6ms]

Have you checked compression? I’d say timing is out

[@TheRetroSeries2a]

i've ordered a compression tester kit, as thats next thing to check!

@@TheRetroSeries2a if its low on completion just chuck a little engine oil down the cylinders it brings the commpretion back up and if it dose start the heat ushany frees of the piston rings and brings the commpretion back

[@JasonWhitehead-dz4bg]

Did you get it running?

[@TheRetroSeries2a]

not yet, will start working on it again once weather improves. ive done a compression test and it's not good!\

[@TheRetroSeries2a]

think I might just bite bullet and buy a new C head!
