While trying to help a friend time the 1275 engine in his recently acquired Bugeye, we could not see or feel any indication on the pulley indicating the TDC notch. We looked and felt around the entire circumference of the pulley.
Does anyone have any suggestions what may have happened and how to correct these things?
Also, one of the HS2 carbs’ piston needle binds up after centering the jet and tightening the nut. Loosening the nut allows the piston to fall with the “clunk” sound. However, even with the nut lose the needle seems to be sticking as upon acceleration of the engine, this piston does not raise nearly as quickly as the other carb piston. I assume that needle is bent and we should replace both the needles and jets in each carb.
Thanks.
