It's a kind of stuttery pop which I assumed was missing. But I have=20 heard the metallic pinking sound I'm used to.
And no, I don't have a timing light unfortunatley. It is definatley running on all 8 though, I'm just relieved to have it=20 running. I had fitted a new halfords cap and a set of plugs when I got=20 it. I did buy new leads but when fitted it wouldn't fire at all, until I=20 had all 8 of the old ones back on then it ran as well as it did before,=20 so I left them on. When I put the new cap on, I swapped them one by one=20 and numbered them with paper tags too. Just to make sure they are in the=20 right place.
With the broken glass which I'm trying to sort now, I don't want it=20 being just too easy to start, so proper timing and charged battery are=20 out. I don't want it hotwired and stolen.
Once I get the glass in, I'll setup the timing by ear.
