My T3 is timed off both cylinders.D for RightS for LeftSet the cylinder connected to fixed points to its correct timing first.Then touch up the movable point set to get second cylinder in sync.
The first thing I would do, especially not knowing the history of any work on the engine is verify the timing. What confused me years ago was the left cylinder is called #2. It’s because they are numbered front to back, not left to right. The engine is timed off #2. With the covers off and plugs out, roll the engine over and watch the valves opening. When the intake opens on the left and starts to close put a finger over the plug hole and as you keep turning the engine over you will feel pressure. That is compression and you are on compression stroke. The spark should fire a few degrees before the piston gets to the top, top dead center. There should be a line visible on the flywheel marking the fixed advance as well as one for tdc . Check the distributor to see if it is in a position to have the points open for the left side. If not, that is the problem.
Looks like this newbie has some researching to do. Thank you for the info. I head too that having a bent valve could be the cause? Would I bent valve still move?
Lots of good places to start. I am swamped with work this week but will post an update in a few.
what part of Ok?
Update: pulled the left carb off to clean it and noticed it was dry. Followed the problem and found the fuel filter had broken and clogged the fuel line. And noticed the way the fuel line was routed, the fuel would not flow. Going to fix these issues now and will post back when it's running hopefully.
When are you going to post a picture of your T ?
want to upgrade the caliper?
Beauty! And I would like to restore the stock one if I can. It might be too far gone.
F08's are available and you can also get a F09 reproduction caliper.
