I own a 1988 Honda Accord lx; 2.0 sohc, carb, 5spd,... that cranks but doesn't start. I've ruled out everything but the mechanical and ignition timing. I've never adjusted the timing, and I can't afford a mechanic;
Can anyone please walk me through both how to set the mechanical and ignition timing for my engine?

Thank You.

 

Do you have a no-start condition? Have you verified that spark is not occurring?

The timing does not change easily unless parts have been replaced; distributor?

Suggest describing your problem clearly and perhaps someone can help.

good luck
