forrest411 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 well go see what you get. I got it to fire up. The only way that I could get it to run was to hold the throttle wide open while I kicked it over. It did run (like crap), but it ran. I had to keep the throttle open quite a bit in order for it to continue to run, After I shut it off I did a compression test on the right side this time (with the throttle wide open), the highest that I could get was 65psi. My quess is that the shop that bored the cylinders over-bored them. Any other ideas of what could be causing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forrest411 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 should be at the thickness of a business card. I got it running. I installed an adjustable timing plate when I did the rebuild, I it set at +4 (lined up with the split in the cases). I put it back to zero and it fired up and I was able to drive it around a bit. I'm going to check the compression again tonight now that I have been able to run it for 15min or so. Am I doing something wrong with the adjustable timing plate? I did double the intakes, carb boots and everything there looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 if you can only get 65psi after a rebuild, yes some one fucked up, either the shop over bored or you got the wrong pistons in it. ya got the rings in the right slots right? i would take it apart and see whats going on in your motor before it gets messed up even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
