Hi guys ive got a problem at the moment with my 1300 locost, basically the distributor has worked its way loose and the timing is way off and hence the car wont start. Can anyone explain a way of roughly setting up the timing just enough to get it started and to the garage to get it properly done. I dont have a timing light!

I have tried to set it up at tdc at the cylinder closest to the front of the car and I got the flame throught the carb. Have i used the wrong cylinder?

Many thanks

Colin
