2 coils = wasted spark

ie two sparks per 180 degrees


set it to 8 cyl and everything should be fine

IIRC..

nope it should be on 2 cylinders,, as the coil pick-up for the tacho is only off one side of the coil pack, so it misses two counts every rotation

Cheers for the replies, Reckon it needs setting for a 2 cylinder, wonder if this can be done on a ST400 - surely ??
Also Ryan the Boost gauge should sit at 1 bar , so i think weve got a problem with the wiring somewhere ! saw Scottys today and he put me straight !

Si , Get us some pics of the car then !

Simon, basically want a price on painting the car, inside, out and underneath.

The car is a complete shell on a dummy jig.

Cheers


Tony, hmmmm now there's a odd one, will have to look at the wiring on the test day.
