MS trigger wheel
Discussion
Hey All, can anyone help with this?
Ok, I think it's my trigger wheel or tunerstudio settings which are causing her to not start (first start after installing Megasquirt). seeing as though there is fuel, spark, sensors etc.
It's a pre-serp engine so when removing the crank pulley, everything is keyed so you cannot put it back together wrong.
I can't work out why something which seems so simple is giving me such a headache. When I first installed it i followed a video from the guy who made the trigger wheel but i've had to move the sensor out the way and i can't seem to get my head around this now and it's so close to starting it's really frustrating.
Looking from the front of the car, clockwise rotation - below is how mine is installed. With the engine at TDC, the original timing mark on the pulley is at about 10 o'clock and is basically over a tooth, then the sensor is mounted at the 13th tooth. Then there are 6 more teeth before the missing one.
Could anyone confirm what the number 1 tooth angle should be set at?

Got it running finally tonight.
Timing is still out tough so i'm not sure if settings are right for the trigger setting.
It's a preserp, there was a noggin/dowel sticking up from the crankpully, this was being picked up by the sensor and giving messed up readings. Then the sensor wasn't close enough so when looking at the logs, it was picking up two pulses next to each other, so the revs were knackered.
FINALLY, she starts up after lots of trying and it was such a good feeling.
