Hey guys i just changed my clutch in my ke70 and now the thing wont start, it cranks and keeps cranking but nothing at all, its getting fuel to the carby i can see that, there is oil in the spark plug well number 3 but i took the first spark plug out and tried to see if it was sparking but didnt seam to be, any ideas what this could be, and why is there oil in the spark plug wells

Did you miss reconnecting an earth?

I'm pretty sure i got everything, where would the earth be?

Its been so long since I have touched a 4K I honestly can't remember. Doing a clutch shouldnt affect the engine starting. All I could think of is an earth attached to one of the gearbox bolts perhaps that you missed.

 

And those spark plug cups always leak.

alright thanks mate, so can i fix the oil in the spark plugs or not? also will the earth from the gearbox some how effect the starting of it

Those spark plug recesses come out. They get out of shape and start leaking. I think they have an O ring behind them.

 

I don't even know if there is a ground to the gearbox, just throwin' ideas out there. All I'm thinking is you've only done the clutch, the only thing that has been taken out is the gearbox.

 

Mind you if you arent getting spark to the plugs it might be worth checking if you are getting power to your coil.

One other thing. Check your points in the dizzy. They could be burnt out or not opening.

Under the cap of the dizzy

you have likely knocked something off in the engine bay getting to clutch cable etc etc etc

 

how did you check for spark?

 

oil in the plug well as was said before, pull the aluminium wells out, with the plugs out they lift out.

they will have a very old Oring behind them, clean it all up, and use some RTV or high temp red sealant around the oring and slip them back in, making sure the sealing surface is oil free.

 

then put the spark plugs back in, but only just nipped, you don't want to squash all the sealant out

once it dries, 24 hrs, tighten everything down. should fix the issue if done right.

or get new Orings. but good luck :P

 

 

 

I reckon you have knocked the lead from coil to dizzy off or something :)
