[Tigers] Tiger won't idle after a bout of hard acceleration

[Ron Fraser]

3 degrees is correct

 

Looks like someone notched across your numbers.

 

Also note, for those who have interested in the small details,  the E4 to the right of the 12 –  is a date code = May 1964

Finally got a couple of hours with the Tiger today (which will probably be it until next weekend sadly) - a few updates:

 

- It wil begrudgingy idle on about 1/2 choke (I have a manual choke)

 

- Found the TDC & timing marks under a bit of rust (see photo)

- Could someone tell me the scale of the marks - 3 degrees each (can't see any numbers there)?

 

- At lowest idle (on choke) the timing light has the pointer just about the 4th mark (photo attached)

 

- Plugs look ok'ish (photo of no 2 plug attached)

 

- dizzy vac advance line itself doesn't leak, each end appears fit snugly

 

- distributor seems tight, does not seem to have shifted
