[QUOTE="philstar, post: 637382, member: 17600"] Thanks all—I appreciate your time and thoughts! I have an SVDA fitted with electronic ignition, it was only a cheap one bought from eBay or MegaBug about 12 years ago, but it's barely done any miles at all. I've seen Accuspark ones on eBay for £70 ([URL]https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182163969108[/URL]) so perhaps I should replace it? It idles lovely and revs up nice, I'm just not getting any advance at all—my intention is to time the engine for maximum advance, but perhaps I am following the guide for a 009 dizzy by mistake? I'm not confident about the compression tester—it's a cheap one I inherited so I might just buy another one to rule that out. 25psi is ridiculously low... Lead order has been checked, I set the valves using the "TDC then rotate 180 degrees backwards" method. I removed the rocker arms and refitted to check everything. [/QUOTE]
