quick way of also checking timing against dizzy is when it's at tdc the dizzy end should be pointing at 1 not 4 incase your half a cycle out for ht leads and above

1 air leaks ! not as i found any tried a bit of easy start spraying around it diddnt make any difference
2 ht leads !what is correct fireing order on dizzy just to double check ive got 1342 fireing order but maybe i have started off wrong ?
3 unsur of mixture rich but it still run wont it if it is rich just smoke alot will double check timing ect tomorrow but i am 99.9% shure it is bang on i dont have a bottom plate for lining up pulley but done it to tdc piston 1 and spun it over even if it was a tooth out it should still run with adjustment on dizzy but it just tries and dont go
