Good day to you....~tips hat~'n' walks away...... ....~walks back in~ I bet if you pull those leads off and hold just close enoough to the plug for the spark to ark between the lead and the plug the engine will pick up a cylinder...

QUOTED. I'm not that bright but i think you are saying that I'm not taking the leads far enough away from the plug to stop the spark plug sparking .......... . if not I'm confused GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR ...........:rolls: Edited September 9, 201115 yr by t18drifts Report
September 9, 201115 yr comment_552566 OK, I think what he is saying is re do the compression test in the fashion that he described earlier. He seems to think that one of the carbs is affecting the test, which in my experience is entirely plausible. If you're not sure, take it somewhere to get help. You could dump a heap of cash to rebuild, but if you whack the same carbs on you could well have the exact same problem. It might take you a little while, but learn to trouble shoot this stuff now. Once learnt, it's never unlearnt :) Report

September 10, 201115 yr comment_552590 I recently blew a head gasket on a 2tg. ran and drove like ass, did a compression test, and got similiar results in 3 and 4 cylinder. took the head off, and the gasket had blown between 3 and 4. not surprising really... anywho... put a new gasket on, torqued head yadda yadda, and now she's running like a dream. didn't have to play with carbies or anything. if you're sticking to a budget, i'd suggest chucking a new headgasket on the pushrod motor and seeing if you can get it going before worrying about finding a 'g' head and putting it on. (another good option would be to buy a complete running 2t/3tg and drop that in, but expect to pay 1500 for a rebuilt one with some good bits in it.) Report

September 10, 201115 yr comment_552626 My 3t blows the dipstick out sometimes only when you rev it 6k or higher but just pressure, think I may need a new pcv. Report
September 10, 201115 yr Author comment_552636 yeah i had stupidly blooked any ventilation of :glare: in a rush of wanting to test the carbs lol Report
September 10, 201115 yr Author comment_552700 ahh one more thing um i don't know if it means anything but when i hold the choke the carb for 3 and 4 it starts reving up and running nicely and on the carb for 1 and 2 if i open the choke well it chokes and wants to die Report
September 10, 201115 yr comment_552703 that means 3/4 carbs are running lean swap 3/4 carby to 1/2? Report
September 10, 201115 yr Author comment_552712 righto i think that could work depending if i can change the throttle to either side of each carb ahhh man fff so anoyed Report
September 10, 201115 yr comment_552720 don't f@$k with the carbies until you get the compression problem sorted. you will only need to rectify things again afterwards... Report
September 10, 201115 yr comment_552744 Mate, stop talking and hoping it will fix it's self. Bite the bullet and take the head off, sounds like a burnt out valve!!! Report
September 10, 201115 yr comment_552773 i also notice on the carb for 3 and 4 on the chrome filter back plate there is brownish black schorch marks I second that- burnt inlet valves. Evan's right however, swapping carbs will take the whole 'carb' question out of it. You could do the same compression test with the carbs swapped & see. In theory they don't make any difference, but you might have loose venturis in the rear carb or the throttle might not be opening fully. If it makes no difference you've already started stripping the head.... Oh- Also, you should hear the valves leaking with the hose in your ear, the carbs will never sound the same. You could listen during the cranking compression test and hear it too. Edited September 10, 201115 yr by altezzaclub Report
