Right so I'm in the garage, quick update
Just checked the timing chain, got the crank lined up and the exhaust lined up but the inlet is under the line, I counted the chain and it's 31 instead of 30 so someone must have advanced the timing, tempted to put it back how it should be.
This could be the root of all the problems.
Maybe they tried it to try make mid range better, it didn't work so rather than going through the hassle of fixing it they got it running (by loosening the plugs) then sold it
Hmmmmm what to do, any ideas anyone.
What would you do??
Misfire when cold, fine once up to temperature

Re: Misfire when cold, fine once up to temperature
Ok so I think I might put it back to how it should be
From what I have read you need to change the rotor as well as advancing the cam.
Mine has the stock rotor 1189,
Changing the rotor would alter the timing on the sensor slightly to allow for the advanced cam, is that right??
I'm getting pretty desperate here, I wanted to get cracking in the morning but I want to find out what's what first before I start altering timing.
It's sure starting to make a lot of sense why the plugs were loose though
