hello all,
been trying for most of this week to get the engine to run...and had a massive learning curve...
But today went back to the begining, as nothing seams right.
So triggering.
i have a 36-1 GEMS rover v8 flywheel.
Checking the missing tooth from TDC and i find its only 30deg BTDC.
So how can i make this trigger the 40-60deg BTDC that is the optimum.....will i have to index round to the next firing cylinder somehow?.
Anyone point me in the right direction, before i loose my mind.
cheers
scott
Yes you are going to have to move the trigger tooth round, try increasing the trigger tooth by 3 to start off with.
rob,
I gathered, but still unsure how i am to achieve this.
The whole triggering thing is starting to confuse the hell out of me, and i think i've lost my way.
I've changed that many times, nothing makes sense.
Been trying 2wks now, and still wont even fire.
So i tried the next firing cylinder (8), and change ignition & injector firing order to suit....and still nothing.
Setting trigger to tooth 7 and tdc after trigger to 60deg.
not even try to fire.
confused as hell.

Are you even getting rpm´s?
Any signals on the ignition output wires?
hiya,
Yes i have spark & fuel getting in, but plugs have been dripping wet.
Had some firing just not running.
When i checked the timing at 0deg tdc, i foudn that my tdc after the trigger was only set to 20deg.
So i indexed the trigger round to the next cylinder no.8, and changed the firing order & ignition to suit....now nothing.
Its gotta be a timing issue, just need to understand the triggering better i think.
