A bad week but its almost finished
Had a bad week at work last week followed by several arguments with SWMBO, all connected with work. Made the mistake of trying to stop two 15 year
pupils killing each other ( both bigger than me ). Seemed to have sorted it out when It all erupted again and I ended up being punched in the face and
knocked to the ground. Got a black eye and a sore back for my troubles.
Any way less moaning and something more positive.
Had to take a day off today as I am exhausted by it all. So to relieve the stress I spent the day working on the Viento.
Fitted the front cycle wings
Made a boot cover and fitted it
Fixed the gear box mounts ( moved as they were not tight enough)
Set the engine timing to 6deg BTDC with a timing light
Had a play with COLORTUNE kit to set the fuel mixture
( amazing to see the flame turn from yellow to blue )
It now runs and sound wonderful…….( first time I have put my foot down and felt the Rhodes lifters pump up and a surge of power )
Just need to sort out the crush tubes on the rear wishbones ( too short ) and lots of trim then it will be finished and SVA time…( oh and one rear
calliper seems to be leaking brake fluid from the flexi pipe connection ) ( and still need to finish a warning light circuit for low coolant level
)
Ps What should the dynamic timing be ( 6deg seemed right ) and do I set it with the vacuum advance tube connected to the dizzy or not.

Normal procedure would be to set the timing with the Vaccuum pipe disconected.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Goodness me! i assume you are a teacher. You people deserve a medal! I really do not know how you do it. I do some private tutoring in nottingham but
only have a single student so she has no one to fight with. lol
She is very good really but one is enough for me. What do you teach?

You know they dont fully pump up until about 3-3500rpm.
Also take into account you are using unleaded fuel with the timing figures. but 6 deg BTDC sounds about right.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
