[QUOTE="darrylh, post: 7277616, member: 153710"] I undid injector nut nearest fan and tried a start. I got fuel squirting out every second or two, but did not get a start (did up nut). I am adamant that timing is right and my son said he checked it also (and he has a photographic memory), but I want to take all off again and check (although it is a right pain in the ar*e to check it). Have read some talk about timing being 180* out. We noticed during rebuild some timing wheels are not aligned with marks when turned around 180*, but does it matter where these marks are on first start?? Similarly, is it vital (or best chance) to get cyl 1 TDC. We are trying with 2 batteries daisy-chained to get a start. We may get 1 fire (or 2 if we are lucky) before both batteries are exhausted. Then we try another day when re-charged. Fuel pump marks are now smack bang in the middle of the engine case marks. Can't believe we are having this trouble, given we have all new parts and all has gone back as before - what could possibly go wrong anyway (we took phone photos before we started). Does this problem ring a bell with anyone, as to what the problem might be??? (in particular starting after an engine rebuild???) Will try the blowlamp when the batteries re-charge, but will probably be another day. Tony, I could get a tow organised with a neighbour (very much my planB) but read on the forum someone towed their 434 a 1/2 mile and it still would not go. What do you think? Wish I had left the thing black-smoking as before - but thought a rebuild would be only a good thing to do:mad: [/QUOTE]
