HI all,
Just getting the car back together, can"t get it to idle, so I took off the carbs cleaned all the jets and passages, put back together, cranked the car and it revs up to 3000 rpms, try adjusting the carbs to idle down and find out that cylinders 3&4 do not affect the rpms (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Then I take off the 3&4 spark plug wires and the engine still runs 3000 rpms no difference in motor HELLLPPPPP |

Fuel, spark, compression--one of those is missing. Figure out which one.

Thanks, the only thing I haven't checked is the compression. The motor has just been rebuilt. It was upgraded to Mahle, 8 to 1 compression p&c's, so I hope it is not the compression.
Here is what I checked so far: I pulled the plugs and there is spark, but there is no smell of gas on them, however when it is running, I can see the gas spray in the throats of the webers. I just cannot understand how the engine can run so smoothly and rev so nicely with just the 1&2 spark plug wires hooked up. Just really frustrated at the moment. Got to the point of almost literally (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) So I decided to back off for tonight and get some different inputs |
