I recently had occasion to to remove the distributor on my Ruby which obviously meant I had to re time the ignition. This I did using the 1/4 marking on the flywheel to establish TDC on no1 cylinder. Then adjusted the dizzy with the aid of a bulb fixed between the low tension and Earth. I started the engine then fine tuned things by ear until the engine ran and sounded smooth. The car now runs and starts well however when starting on the handle there is quite a kick back from compression not because the engine has fired. This is until you get past TDC. IS THIS NORMAL.

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.
