Help! Distributor No.

[PP1]

Hi, I finially got around to check the distributor no. on my beat. But instead of a four digit number I got this

TD-210
7Z26

Does it mean the distributor has been changed? Or should I still get it change? My beat is a 91
Many thanks and Happy X'mas everybody

Hi,

With a number like that, I would say thet it has already been changed.

if you go down a couple of posts to DIZZY, hopefully it will help answer your questions.

Hope this helps

That distributor will be fine!

Once they run out of numbers they started putting letters in to the four didgets.

So yours has been replaced.

HTH

That's great news guys. Thanks very much for your help. That's one problem solved, next I got to find out why its pinking under load. Does anybody know what I should check first??

[adrianp]

I would guess that the first thing to check is what fuel you are using,

Whilst the beat will run quite happily on normal unleaded, it does seem to prefer Super Plus (or equivalent).

Next I would check to make sure the timing is set properly, SteveM can advise how to do this better then I can.

Hope this helps for starters

Thanks for the tip. I love my beat too much to use anything other than Shell Optimax:p But I am gonna get one of those gas treatment additive.

As for checking the timimg, I really need some help here. :confused: ie) how to take off the cam belt cover and how to read the timing mark etc.

Thanks and have a Happy Happy X'max
