Hi All,
Finally on the final stages of finishing up my TR5C build and I'm having a bit of trouble starting the thing. I'm pretty sure it's related to ignition timing. I have spark, carb is rebuilt, and I set valve clearance (0.010). New rings, rebuilt head, new gaskets all the way around.
Does anyone have any good instructions on how to set initial ignition timing on a lucas distributor? I have gotten a couple of loud bangs through the exhaust, but nothing really like it wants to start. Any insight would be fantastic.
Here's a pic of the bike as it sits for fun.
