Hi to all,

 ;DHey Tony,
                   Glad you like it. It saves money and depending on the ampage going into the water the more amps the quicker the process. I am working on doing either a solar panel or a wind generated turbine thru a generator so i can make a tub that will do gaurd's bonnets and gaurds and the only cost is laundry powder.  If anyone needs help or is unsure about something e-mail me or leave a message here, be more than happy to help.
Cheers Spider.
P.S. A SAFE & HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE.

Howdy Folks,
                    Found the problem, the harmonic balancer had shifted. The motor had been rebuilt when i got it and the vehicle was in a accident. The harmonic balancer was the only part of the motor that was damaged on impact. It had a chip and a slight wobble, so i didnt think anything of it, but this was the cause of me not being able to get it fired it was out to buggery. So now i feel much better, i was starting to think i was going nut's. So "THANKYOU TO EVERYONE" that replied and have a excellent xmas and new year.
Cheers Spider

  Thankyou everyone for your HELP,
                                                           Ive set the poimts and plug's, and thankyou "RET" for the spec's it has been printed and put away for reference. But she still wont fire , so i have got a mate of my father who's a mechanic, is going to come around and check it out, it will be something stupid, ive adgusted the timing that many times with no luck and i checked it was on compression stroke as "Craig A" advised. I will Let all of you know when it fires and what the problem was, which will be embarrassing without doubt, and be kicking myself for not seeing it
CHEERS SPIDER

Hey Craig,
               I had the tappet cover off when i was bringing up number1 piston, and lined up the notch on the harmonic balancer to top dead centre mark. I went past the number1 lead to just before the number5 lead so when i put the distributor back in it would allow for the rotor to back to just past no1 lead. Is this what you mean when you say the leading edge just reaches number 1 lead.
Cheers Spider

Thanks Craig, Downloading as we speak. I went and set the plugs gave it a crank (the motor that is ) and all she kept doing is backfiring thru the carby. I brought up number 1 piston, took out the dizzy turned the cam lobe past number1 to just before number 5 opens and dropped in the dizzy. I then put a test light on it and adjusted the timing by hand but it is still popping thru the carby?. ANY Ideas?
Cheers Spider

 ;)Thanks Fellas,
                         I down loaded that page but my acrobat 3 couldnt recognise some of it so all i got was black boxes. Thanks ret i will check back tommorrow, and also thanks craig with the tripple linkages information. I think i will end up making my own, if i cant find a set.
Cheers Spider
