fremyjay Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Right my engine wont start its cranking too slow, now i was told too check the timing. Looked at the timing and top 4e mark on camshaft pulley is lined up with hole on the head and crank pulley is lined up with 0, looking at diagrams this is correct but im being told by other people that it should be on the 10 mark, which is correct and which isnt???!!!

Sefton-EP91 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I set mine to the 0 mark when doing mine. If it's cranking slowly this would usually suggest the battery is going flat. I assume all the intake pipes are clear, you have plenty of fuel getting into cylinders and you have a spark.Have you tried turning it over by hand to make sure it's nice and free to turn over?

fremyjay Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Yeah timings correct then, no battery is showing 12v and everything else powers on ect. and yeah turns over by hand, have checked all earths aswell, confused now to what it could be Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sefton-EP91 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Maybe the starter is on its last legs? Have you checked the connections on starter to make sure there tight aswell? have you checked to see if you have any faults, diag test? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
