mattlea1:
I reckon its a tooth out Joel

65pony:
Sorry mate not the brightest on a sunday night, especially after a few. Can you explain tooth out??

mattlea1:
Im guessing you lined the old dizzy up on number one top dead centre? If so and then you lined the new dizzy up the same and dropped it in are you sure it ended up in the exact same spot? What can happen in a lot of cases because the dizzy gear has curved teeth it seems lined up until you drop it in but as it slides in it ends up being one tooth out which will give you dramas every time.

When you say shoots fuel out the carby, is it backfiring? If it is then it is definitely an electrical drama and not fuel.

65pony:
Oh ok i get ya now.

What we tried first was to pull the old dizzy out and put the new one in the exact same spot in regards to lead 1. The next thing we tried was exactly what you said.

I'm not sure as I have never seen a car do that before but I would say yea it's backfiring.

mattlea1:
It is definitely electrical because if it was a fuel problem it would be backfiring out the exhaust. Chances are the new dizzy could be faulty.
