Des Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) 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 ?

Felix Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Cap, leads, valve clearances, gunged up plugs? Done a compression test? Quote
dfunkt Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 ditch it for one that's running on all cylinders all the time... Quote
Des Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Posted April 13, 2008 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 ? Quote
Felix Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Bent push rod maybe ? Possibly, though it doesn't happen that often. Maybe rip off the rocker cover and check the valve clearances. Quote
Raven Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 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. :) Quote
Trev Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 You forgot that it wasnt a 4age didnt you Des. Quote
Des Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Posted April 13, 2008 Valve bounces at 6,500 rpm. So compression test tomorrow after work and i will rip the rocker cover off too. Quote
COROLLAANDY Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 don't rule out popped head gasket, somewhere between 3rd and 4th!! Quote
DearmanKE Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 those spark plug things, they can crack and leak oil, caused my mates 4k to run on 3 when he had a broken one Quote
Des Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Posted April 14, 2008 I couldn't get the compression tester from work so I'm just going to pull the inlet manifold off in the mean time. Quote
