Kienzle car clock

Post by gammy126 »

Hi all , I have just put a Kienzle car clock in to my moggie. Its connected as a direct continuous live feed with a fuse for protection. It clunks every so often ( is it suppose to do this ???? ) also its running slow there is a tiny screw on the back is this the retard advance ???? if it is any tips on how to set it up or do i have to keep going out every hour and turning it and hope this works.

Any and all tips welcome.
Best wishes
Alan

some electric car clocks will click, as they wind up. there should be a + and - on the back near the screw this is to operate the (speed) if thats what you call it .

I suspect the clock you have fitted is from a P6 Rover and yes they all click every so often! Having had several P6's they all do it!
