I think thats it, the gasket slipped on the opposite side, I thought I relocated ok , but maybe not...didnt realise they´d be that sensitive!
Easily so! The points box rotates to set the timing. I rotated with the hand crank with the heads back on thats all??

Re: sidney has entered the building sig wrote: yep ken you´re a star, the seal was upside down, also I changed it for the flatter ones that I had and added a couple of washers behind the springs because they werent very powerful, now it doesnt spew anymore. but all of a sudden theres something happened with the carb, I must have knocked it or something, keeps dying on me unless at full throttle..never had this before.choke is still ok, its as if the mix is all wrong or something, theres no way the timing could be off now is there...I thought that was impossible on these engines.! you just have to go back and double check all the bits that were disturbed taking the head off - manifold gaskets , tappets? as you havent touched the jets or the points box then it shouldnt have been altered.

Re: sidney has entered the building easy fix! the inlet gasket was askew!, it was getting dark when I did it. fixed the other side also with a spacer washer to push the spring a bit harder and now its a drip free zone and I´ve got a lovely yellow 2014 sticker on the windscreen  thanks for all the help guys, the car would have never got sorted so quick (and so cheaply) if it weren´t for this forum. very happy
