#1 Firing order

Post by Bernie2015 » Tue Feb 05, 2019 10:00 am

Can anyone let me know the firing order of the V12 engine. I have fitted a new rotor as a couple of the brass inserts in the rotor were missing and it was only firing on 10 cylinders. It's still lumpy so I suspect I have put one or two of the HT leads on the wrong plug. Well there are 12 of them!

I agree with McJag.......this is basic knowledge. Handbook, workbook, GOOGLE.
