Thanks. Found as a wreck in a barn and 4 years graft. I have realised that I have too many cars and you cannot drive them all at the same time!

Slight rumbling from back but apart from that perfect. No rust and spent too much, Triumph blue with white stripe. Call 07926 800594 for details.

Thanks for all your replies. i went back to basics as I was never happy with the Cam that was fitted. I have removed timing cover and with No1 TDC and No4 rockers open and dizzy drive where I think it should be the timing mark on the cam drive is 180 degrees out see image 879. Have i set it all out by 180 degrees? Why do the No4 rockers and dizzy drive appear to be in the right place. Looking at images is the issue I have due to the fact that the cam is out 180Degress. I really struggled to find any timing marks on the smaller gear at the time i build the engine. Thoughts and have I done the obvious? Not sure as engine ran but albeit very badly!

Hi all, As per book I rechecked the timing. No1 piston TDC No4 piston valves just rocking between open and close on Exhaust and inlet. Distributer rotor arm pointing to No1. Set to 10 Degree advance. Nothing. Sucesfully killed the engine so I think I need to take timing cover off and go back to basics. If there is a Herald Engine expert in Worcester please drop me a line. As I say a Herald engine cant be more basic but i am stumped.

When I meant TDC I have set it at 10Deg BTDC or there abouts. I thought i had this about right as the engine really does not want to know if I advance/retard as it splutters and stops. I have checked the firing order 1342. Should point out the car has never run in my ownership as I purchased as a box of rusty bits. with regards to setting the gears I set the engine to TDC and made sure the marks aligned on the timing gears and No4 inlet and exhaust were just opening/closing. So i think I have done all the obvious things? One thing of note is it must be running very rich as I always come in stinking of petrol fumes but cannot seem to address despite rebuilding the Stromberg and checking the float heights a least 3 times.

Hi, recently moved to Worcester and due to pandemic and moving not really had chance to sort my Herald engine. Car is fully restored, recon g/b, diff and rebuilt engine. Spent far more on car than it is worth. I cannot get the engine to run smoothly and despite building 3 mini engines in the past I am baffled by the Herald issue. The engine starts, but backfires a lot and bucks about on its mounts and then eventually stops after a few minutes running. Checked timing and appears to be spot on at TDC. Stripped Stromberg carb so many times it is now leaking petrol but nothing on the carb side seems to resolve the issue. It has Accuspark electronic ignition and coil but I seem to remember it also did the same thing on the original coil and dizzy. Have also refreshed petrol as I suspected it had gone stale so have counted this out as an issue. Anyone has any ideas as to what the issue is or is there a Triumph expert in Worcester who can help. I cannot drive the car at the moment as far too unreliable and no pull from engine.
