April 13, 200818 yr comment_239067 Ok so i took the ke70 for thrash and now it wont run on all 4 pots, 3 and 4 have died. Runs on all 4 over 3,500 RPM but under that its really lumpy. Has spark and fuel so I'm suspecting rings blown out or maybe valve sticking open or something along those lines. Any suggestions ? Edited April 13, 200818 yr by AE70 Report
April 13, 200818 yr comment_239073 Cap, leads, valve clearances, gunged up plugs? Done a compression test? Report
April 13, 200818 yr comment_239074 ditch it for one that's running on all cylinders all the time... Report
April 13, 200818 yr Author comment_239076 Cap, leads, valve clearances, gunged up plugs? Done a compression test? Cap is good, swapped some of the leads around its still shitty on 3 and 4. Compression test tomorrow. Bent push rod maybe ? Report
April 13, 200818 yr comment_239080 Bent push rod maybe ? Possibly, though it doesn't happen that often. Maybe rip off the rocker cover and check the valve clearances. Report
April 13, 200818 yr comment_239081 I had a 3K that did that in my KE36. It ended up being a corroded Dizzy cap. Got a new one and all was sweet. :) Report
April 13, 200818 yr Author comment_239126 Valve bounces at 6,500 rpm. So compression test tomorrow after work and i will rip the rocker cover off too. Report
April 13, 200818 yr comment_239152 don't rule out popped head gasket, somewhere between 3rd and 4th!! Report
April 13, 200818 yr comment_239251 those spark plug things, they can crack and leak oil, caused my mates 4k to run on 3 when he had a broken one Report
April 14, 200818 yr Author comment_239328 I couldn't get the compression tester from work so I'm just going to pull the inlet manifold off in the mean time. Report
