Hey Guys,
I took the S3 to work today and I arrived on time! The Weber choke was not disengaging properly and was causing some problems with the running. The Shifting is almost fixed, I say almost as I think there is still a little air in the system. She still seems to be missing a little but it will idle and that is a big improvement.
Timing? I performed a static timing test and set the dizzy. She seemed to run ok but I thought I would check it with a timing light. Should there be a big difference? The static timing looked to be about 30deg off when running at aprox 1000 rpm. This is with the vacuum line connected.
Please confirm, the static test should be set when at TDC? Is it ok to set the car using the static test only? The car seems to be running a little off and I think it is due to timing. Any help would be great.
It is nice to have her back on the road again. The only real problem I have now is that it look as if the used engine is blowing a little oil out the back of the engine as I have a some oil dripping out around the flywheel cover??
Thanks again for the help guys, it would be tough doing all of this without the group.
