Hey guys!
First off the car is -
1990 vitara swb sift top.
G16a, stock (beside extractors in the mail bag) 310,xxx km's

Pretty sure my timing is out? I'm guessing. I have no clue on how to check this. I've read about timing and degrees and a dizzy but it's all over my head.

When I start the car in the mornings or when ever (from cold) it runs like a bag of shit. Does not hold a good idle and I hear ticking sounds from the motor. (Oil does get replaced every 5000km) and is good to the line.
The car shakes a bit too. It's not motor mounts as I changed them.
Who's in perth and knows there stuff? If can get it all running Micky mouse ill give you $100 =]

Cheers guys!

I could just about guarantee it's the choke.
Don't go fiddling with it yourself though. Hook up with someone here or go to a carby specialist
