Auto advance
JohnnyT:
Having trouble firing up my Tigress.Ive got good spark and wet plugs,but only getting the occaisonal pop.Could the auto advance which looks standard Triumph effect starting,or does it come in later ? The scooter was standing for many years and I cleaned the auto advance up,but it could be a little stiff.
john.k:
Its likely a new capacitor is needed...........the spark may not be as strong as you think.
TGR90B:
Good tip, but if it's been standing many years I'd strip the carb, especially as you say you've got a good spark. Fresh fuel goes without saying.
R:
Wet plugs ?
Always worth trying new plugs when that happens,
especially after standing for years....
JohnnyT:
I have new carb and plugs.With wet plugs I know fuel is getting through.Do you mean condenser John K? The manual says 5 dg btdc for points opening used to being 17 ish on my 2 stroke Lambrettas.Is there such a difference on 4 strokes?
