Hi all,
Car still running like shit, only thing i can think of is the timing belt is out by a tooth or two
What is the best method for correct alignment/fitting??
Any info would be great.
Cheers

Hi, i just replaced mine as per the haynes manual. I had both crank and cam puleys off to replace the oil seals. Then the pulleys are reinstalled with there marks lining up (they have marks on each pulley which line up with marks above them on the motor), then the belt is sliped on. A manual explains this a lot better, well the pics do anyway |

Thanks mate. I'm hoping it's just the carb needing a proper tune. Just asking in case it's not. |

there are marks on the pulleys that line up, from memory you want the crank keyway pointing straight up and the cam one points down and then they marks will line up, make sure you hav tension on the passenger side of the belt as well a tooth or two out will barely run!!! |

Thanks Royce, I think the belt might be fine then, the car drives normally, its just at idle the thing is playing up. It seems as though it floods itself?? Any ideas?? |

get a can of aerostrart and spray it around the manifold, if the idle changes you have a leak |
