I've been struggling to time up the ignition on the 2000SC, the problem is if I use the timing marks on the front pulley the engine runs very rough and will not idle with any sort of stability, I tried to use the flywheel marks but they are a mile off. I checked the flywheel against the rotor arm and when on the mark the arm was facing the O/S wing inbetween the two contacts. I've now timed it by ear and I seem to be pretty much in the right area even though the crankshaft pulley marks say I'm running about 28deg adv, does anybody know why this is happening? I don't know if the engine has been apart in it's life and had the flywheel put back in the wrong place likewise the crankshaft pulley but that would be the only explanation I can muster up to explain it.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
