Hi the motor in my ke55 got wet and now it wont start ive tryed wd40 on the plugs and a few things but have had no luck what else could it be?.

How wet? Like submerged wet?

 

Is it cranking over?

 

Take apart your dizzy as well and blow dry all the bits.

spray some wd40 under the distributer cap.

yea its cranking over just not firering maby if i just leave it for a few days it might dry out?

how did you get it wet?

i drove mine through a creek once and it came to a stop just as i came out. i had no air filter on and i was stuck out in the bush. so i took take the carby off and drain the water out the float bowl and it lived again

i was degressing the engine dident cover the dissy its not getting any spark

yea, try blowing the distributor internals dry with compressed air.

this happened to me once. me and my dad spent over an hour trying to figure out the problem. we tried everything that you've tried.

turned out it was just a wire that got knocked off the coil. fired right up after we placed it back on.

I heard that you can steam clean any Japanese engine. My Datsun, corona, pulsar and corolla have never had a problem getting wet. I have never covered up a dizzy. My fords are another story. XD XF and EA ran like dogs for about half a day after i cleaned them.

Edit. Never cleaned the EL cos i am worried it wont start after. Its running like a dog now, Guess its just a ford.. :yes:

I second this. I usually do it before I degrease/pressure wash the engine but it will still work if you do it after.

problem solved thanks for the info.

what was wrong with it??
