Re: Black smoke Series 3 2+2
David, the ported vaccum i was refering to is the vaccum port that must be drilled on the rear left hand side carburator. So if i understand correctly what you suggest: - I fit the advance vaccum unit JLM519 on my current ditributor unit to retplace the retard unit currenty fitted - I connect the va...

Re: Black smoke Series 3 2+2
Thanks Philip,
i have just ordered the vaccum unit from SNG and will fit this directly on my OPUC unit which is working well so far.
Regarding vaccum source i thought it should be coming from a ported one from the rear left hand side carb (to drilled) and not from the inlet manifold?

Jérôme

Re: Black smoke Series 3 2+2
Philipp,
1) no i have a retard vaccum unit that i have disconnected.
2) i have the original ignition system
My plan moving forward is to install an advance vaccum unit on my current distributor. Does it make sense or should i go for an OPUS ignition unit? with a vaccum advance unit?
regards
jérôme

Re: Black smoke Series 3 2+2

Re: Black smoke Series 3 2+2
Philip,
yes they are in the right direction.
I have 2 spares carb therefore i'll rebuilt them... we never know.
I'll also check again all pipes especially teh one related to emission control.
BTW, do you think the check valve or gulp valves might influence my issues?
Thanks
Regards
Jérôme

Re: Black smoke Series 3 2+2
Marek, ok thanks. This mark on the pulley seems original and is only few degres away form the A's and seems to be original. By the way looking at the repain Manual page 43 for example you can also see the B mark on the pulley. Named this B is quite confusing too. I thought this might explain my smok...

Re: Black smoke Series 3 2+2
Marek, thanks for your reply and this was my understanding when i set the timing when i rebuilt the engine. As of now the engine timing is set as when the A mark on Crankshaft pulley is at 0° the tool fit in the slot of both camshafts (Band A and B). Nevertheless since i have the issues mentionned e...

Re: Black smoke Series 3 2+2
Hi all, i finally took some time to remove emission control pipes, the left hand side carburators, inlet manifolds,.... to access the camshaft and see if my camshaft timing was ok or not. I have once stupid question: as i m checking band B timing should the bottom pulley be with the B mark at 0 degr...

Re: Black smoke Series 3 2+2
