She goes like a maniac......wow
After my final job being to fit a new dizzy I don't have any timing gear so popped down to David Gerald TVR and they set everything up for me
Wow what a difference, I can't believe the performance now.....it's that good I may just keep her lol
My friends 390se is like a rocket ship now with a new dizzy..Do you know what they set the timing to?...I think he could only get 15 degrees and nothing lower but says it goes like stink..Is the fuelling okay...No running lean?...After my final job being to fit a new dizzy I don't have any timing gear so popped down to David Gerald TVR and they set everything up for me

Everything running pukka at 8 degs, spot on :-)gmw9666 said:
@zig - it was the powerspark dizzy I bought. Not everyone has been able to fit them ok but mine fitted a dream and has made a huge difference
Can i ask the part number and where you bought please...And also does it has the 3 pin connector for the ignition amp instead of the 2?...Cheers...ZigaGrrrrr. Don't talk to me about timing........
Green 350i Wedge was running fine but with new PowerSpark dissy that would only run at TDC rather than 8 degrees before TDC so rebuilt old dissy with new ignition amp - swapped this afternoon and it didn't work - no spark at all, so tried second dissy from new acquisition (yes I bought Smash's 390SE, stunning and another thread in the future) but spare dissy with that wouldn't run, so eventually popped PowerSpark dissy back in, and you guessed it - that now doesn't run either.
FFS, a job I thought would take 15 minutes took all afternoon and now the Wedge won't run. Very pee'd off. Green 350i is not feeling the love! It's my birthday weekend and I really could do without the stress. Bah humbug.

Bah humbug lol
Maybe the green wedge caught a cold from smash's ???
@zig, if you call powerspark and explain what you have they will advise on the correct
Few people on here like me have had great results but a few folk like Keith have also struggled.....I'd like to say it was my engineering prowess lol but I very much doubt it lol

Hi Keith...Thats a real pi55er mate..Just out of interest did you change the ignition amp and coil?...So you bought the 390SE....Well if you wanted to know what its like to own a basket case then you should of asked...I had one for 3 years...
Seriously though...DONT put a carb on it FFS...Take your time and be methodical...Its a frazzled wire somewhere i reckon...Or bad earths...Either way its a stunning rare beast...Happy birthday if its today....
