Subject: looking for M45 engine information
Good afternoon out there
My name is Peter Calvert and I am a volunteer at Brooklands Museum in Surrey England. We have in our charge a 1935 Lagonda M45 LeMans replica. At present we are having trouble with the engine running. It has both magneto and coil ignition systems and at present the coil sytem is playing up. The engine will not run cleanly on coil over about 2000 revs. We intend to replace the usual components ,ie points, condensor,rotor arm but are not sure which distributor this model would have used .Also we think the firing order is 1 3 5 6 4 2 ,is this correct ? On the carburation side we are struggling to get the mixture right . Not knowing anything about its previous history we are wondering if the jet needles are correct . Can anyone advise us on this? Also what should the static timing be and is there a TDC mark ?
kind regards Peter
