Technical tips & Questions / Re: is it possible for a timing chain to jump a tooth when worn under heavy deceleration?
« Last post by Ed Straker on 28 April 2025, 04:21:14 pm »
Thanks Sunny and Threshed,

Spent the day going through the ignition and timing, no luck. ( I got zapped so maybe the HT leads do need some attention)

Swapped out the Carb for a known good spare - improved at idle still shakes on drive.

Went through the tail shaft universal joints - back UJ at rear diff has a great deal of movement - have I found it?

Have taken a spare tailshaft of a scrapper and will fit tomorrow - fingers crossed that it was a combination of the two issues.

I am in Aust so 12 hours different to you lot. Will report back.

so people could slander and defame people

Of course, if you want to slander or defame someone, it is important to ensure that what you say about them has no basis in truth whatsoever.

I, and someone else, have actually answered someone's query on here today! Is this a one off random event, or the start of a revival?

If it is a misfire, taking each plug lead off in turn should identify it. If it gets worse after removing a plug lead, then that one is not at fault, if it makes no difference, then there is a problem on that cylinder.

I would go through the ignition system, checking the points, timing, lead etc. Static timing is fine to get the engine started.

You could also have dislodged some **** in the fuel, that is now causing a problem?

It might be worth doing the 'sucking thing' on the carburettor intake. Take off the air cleaner pipe at the top of the carburettor, star the engine and up the idling speed a little (not a lot!). Then cover the air intake on the carburettor with your hand, of better still, a flat piece of wood. This will usually clear a blocked jet.

Highly unlikely to have slipped a tooth.
Two things come to mind, could one of the brakes be sticking and give the shaking feeling ?
Or. Could it be a misfire. Timing issue could be elsewhere, such as points.
Happened to me once in a Fiat, hit a pothole and the base plate moved.

all good Dave, happy to wait another year.

I only originally referenced the s2 club as it one of the few active Forums (Fora?) left.

Digging a little deeper here it seems there was/may have some past rivalry or something.

Was not my intention to have a go or cause offence.

Happy to change my name to Wayne Kerr for the next month to make amends.

yes, google is not my friend.

Back to basics then with a Big gay book of Land Rover stuff to check static timing.

Random question.
I notice on the top of each forum page there are pop ups of various ad's.
If I click on these randomly does it help the forum with funds ?
I enter the Free Post Code Lottery and that is how they raise money. Is this the same ?

No. It doesn't help with funds. If they did produce revenue for anyone but the forum hosts then I can assure you that revenue wouldn't make it to the forum because I would keep it for myself. Why not?

We don't need funds anymore because we don't do anything anymore. I doubt this forum raises much revenue anyway. Going by how it's taken someone almost 2 years to answer your question shows than no one reads this crap and even fewer give a rat's arse about it. If we did need funds then I suppose we could rent this space out so people could slander and defame people, safe in the knowledge that they'd never be taken to court over it because no fucker would ever see it.
