BUMP. Ended up buying this. But before I even buy the toys for it or install this, I need to address the starter and timing issue;
More often it clicks but dont crank, I replaced the relay and most of the time I have to wiggle the wires from the starter, to the relay, to the battery for it to start. What do we call those wires so I can buy the replacement?
Which brings me to my next question, I believe the timing is off. Intellitronix gauge tells me that its idling at 500 RPMs when warm, but the way it starts almost immediately when it does crank is kind of a concern. So I tried to use a timing light. At first I tried to line it up to the "0" on the belt but the engine does not seem to be happy. An older gentleman at the base garage told me to start it as he twists the alternator and said to tighten it as soon as it starts. As I said above it idles at 500 RPMs but the timing lights tells me the timing is WAAAAY above 10 because I cant see it on the balance belt thing. Would running it like this mess it up how should I dial the timing when I cant see the indicator with the timing light?
Thank you all in advanced!
