    Default Timing issues

    OK so i just put my VL back togheter after its been sitting around doin nothing for 5 and a half months, and i tried to time it yesterday in a hurry and i accidentally had it 180 degreee's out, i fixed it today and it still will not run..

    Iy idles like a bucket of shit, wont stay on and i've tried goin 1 tooth then 2 teeth advanced and then 1 tooth and then 2 teeth ratarded and still not much better.

    Also when i try and accelerate nothing happens. even with the throttle full open the revs do not increase???

    i remember when we first put the motor in we had all hell's trouble trying to get it to run i ended up taking it to the mechanic and they timed it and apparently it took them ages to?

    Can anyone tell me what's up with my engine?

    Nope not airflow, I fixed the revving issue, i put a different TPS on, i guess the one i had on was shot... And also i got it to stay on but DUDE for a stage "2" cam its has a mega lumpy idle..
