<VV> Engine Problem

[Dave Keillor]

You are probably 180 degrees out on the timing.  Get number 1 cylinder
at TDC on the compression stroke and the rotor in the distributer should
be pointing at the wire doing to #1.

Subject: <VV> Engine Problem

Ok folks I got a small problem. I changed my distributer in my 80hp 1960
today. I had a used one from a stripped 60 engine. I had a problem
timing
the original one so I tried to swap them out to see if that would change
anything. WELL IT SURE CHANGED THINGS! It would not start after and on
the
second turn of the key an extremely loud backfire came through the
muffler.
So discouraged I switched back to the original one. She still will not
start
and the backfires continue. Any suggestions?
