Okay just put a Helix 2 yesterday in my 24v. When you crank it, it blows white smoke and won't fire. When you spray ether in it, it finally fires up. It has a slight haze at idle now where as before it didn't. Before I had an ATS towing cam in it. Any ideas? :thankyou2:
 
Are you sure the cam isn't off? That's about the only thing I can think of.
 
You bought the cam from...... and you have called/e-mailed them when?
 
It could be off, bolt on or not if the timing marks where not lined up properly.
 
I bought it from Tim Barber and I haven't tried to call yet. I fiqured his shop was closed for the holiday.
 
Why don't ya stick the ATS back in and see if she'll run? If it does you'll know that A the cam isn't right (not likely) or B ya goofed somewhere.
 
Onco it starts it is smooth and it drives better than ever. It is burning alot of fuel though.
 
I am 100 percent sure that the cam and injection pump were lined up. I had to pull the cam back out a little bit to put the thrust plate back in, because I forgot. So could the crank and cam not be lined up just by a couple teeth?
 
did everything line up after you put the plate back in?do you think it moved?
 
sounds like your way retarded on the cam - didnt slip a tooth when you pulled it up for the retainer?
 
helix 2 - and what 100 degree centreline?
-5 degrees for a tooth, and possible a couple degrees for gear variations (mine was off by 3 degrees) - 8 degrees +/- thats a lot of cam retard
