Thank you so much! You have no idea how long I've been searching for someone to tell me where on the fan housing is TDC and 8 BTDC. My 2l t2 doesn't have a timing scale. I had to do the valve and piston position check to get it but now this just confirms I'm in the right spot.

Fantastic descriptions. I've had a a good go trying to start my 2.0 CU. It turns over well but does not fire. Fuel delivery is good. Looks like electronics next up to look at.....OMG not looking forward to that. Its a 1980 RHD Doka. This video will help.

Great video as always. Looks like something is wrong on mine as when rotor arm point where yours does my timing mark is at TDC. So when im at TDC my rotor arm is at about 5 o'clock.

hmm - so the earth pin underneath the dizzy is for brake lights etc? When you replace it with this powerspark one, what goes in the place of this wire?
@sarran1955

Hi, nope.. the earth wire is for the ignition loom and amplifier. The wire is removed when you take out the old wiring. Cordialement,

The 034 had a advance curve and vac can designed for the 1600 with 34/pict3 carb, is the 2L curve/vac not differant?

Very useful vids sarran. 1 question, I've googled for the Powerspark 043 SVDA dizzy but can't find any signs of it, did you mean the 034 SVDA dizzy? Thanks

Hi thanks 4 ur videos all brilliant..I did all Mark's timing pulley on my van just like ur step by step do timing thin is when I put test light on coil negative _ then earth the light stays on all time even when I move distributor left or right it stays on ... is this normal light stays on when u got electronics ignition points thanks .....Carol

Hello Carol, Good point, the Hall effect produces the pulse by the field collapsing at the required moment, so the dizzy is powered all the time, only losing its charge when the spark happens. Sort of the other way round to a points and condensor dizzy, which stays shut until the cam opens the points, breaks the circuit and energises the coil, By the way, it is a good idea to have a spare sensor and fitting screw as a spare, if anything goes wrong, as you can't see what is wrong... Cordialement,

Hi, i followed your video but with a 123ignition. I made all the marks, but when i fired up the engine it runs on idle at around 40degrees. It dies at idle at around 32degrees and up to 48 degrees, is it just my timing light thats of ?

Hello . Are the measurement for the timing marks the same for the CT engine?
@sarran1955
2 ай бұрын
Hello, Nope, the TDC for the CU is at 12 o clock, the CT is about 11:30.If you have a strobe, the setting in the video will be enough to get the engine started, then you adjust, 8ish degrees BTDC for 98/95 RONpetrol, a bit less for lower grade . Cordialement,

Hi, some great pointers, thanks. Which coil do you recommend as already bought a replacement coil before realising the dizzy itself might be at fault; I think this may be the way to get my 2L T25 to finally start!
@sarran1955

Hello, If you had a 'Hall effect' system (with 2 tubes coming out of the 'capsule'), then you can use that coil. If you use a points and condenser dizzy you will need a low resistance coil.. the resistance values of the 'Hall effect' coil are shown in the video.. Hope this helps.. Cordialement,

So when fit electronic points do u disregard wiener loom going in2 the ignition control unit take it off all and wire back on negative --- red on + on 2 the coil from the electronic points thanks Carol pls text back big thanks 4 all helpful videos so so fabulous...Carol up Scotland Glasgow..🇬🇧

Hello Carol, When you fit a powerspark dizzy and coil, all you need is the live feed to the ignition, and vacuum to the lh carb.So you do not need the idle stabiliser or the Aluminium amplifier, or the 'wiener' loom. Simple and tidy. Hope this helps, Cordialement,

Ah! I have a problem then. When the finger of the rotor arm is roughly pointing to the 0 timing mark, the square cut out in the turbine pulley, is also pointing towards the 0 timing mark. Yours is 2 clock, mine is 10 oclock. Yet mine still runs, but is a bit flat for an 1800. Is it 180 deg out? if so how do I fix it, without taking anything apart, as I assume the distributor will only go in one wasy, offset peg?
@sarran1955

Hello, Indeed your timing is out, but not by 180* I suspect that the distributor drive has been put in wrongly, remove it with long nosed pliers and try back into a new position. Make sure you have the little spring between drive and distributor. Trial and error. Cordialement,
