Subject: Re: looking for M45 engine information
Hi,
Indeed the firing order is 1-4-2-6-3-5
Timing should be a little different in so much as it should be 33 deg on the inlet (mag) side and 31 deg on the Ehaust (coil) side
this way the engine will run a lot smoother.
The engine will and should run up to about 2500 rpm under load on one ignition only, but after this you will feel a significant power loss. severe backfires after 3000. In general it should always be run on both sides at once.
Mixture in general should be a K or KT needle with jet flush. But you always need to play around a little.
I do believe though that the car on display in the museum is actually an early "M" (memory only) and that this has a Rotax distributor fitted.
Feel free to phone here also.
