broke350 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 It sounds like only one cylinder is firing too. Do you have spark at both spark plugs? Do either/both plugs look fouled? Have you replaced the plugs to see if that helps? Definitely check compression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broke350 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Cool. Most times it's something stupid simple. Good luck and post up if you find it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPIN' IT UP Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Not being a smart ass or anything like that, but when you assembled it, were the pistons put in the right way? Sent from my ZTE T84 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my ZTE T84 using Tapatalk Yeah that was brought to my attention yesterday. Im almost certain that they are in correctly, but mistakes happen. Im going to double check when I take my exhaust off for the leakdown test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 If nothing else helps ohm plug caps separately, 5K , trim 1/4" off wires , install caps with dielectric grease. Clean nubs on the flywheel of rust, set pickup gap, .018" Check that ALL connections are clean, tight, add dielectric grease. Grounds also !! Check ground at stator and stator plate to engine case, no white corrosion allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 What series pistons are in it? I have seen that with the long rod 573 series pistons put on short rods. What is the squish? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cnelson47 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 **UPDATE** Sorry it took so long guys was waiting on a leakdown tester to come in the mail. Long story short I did the leakdown test and found a major leak on my right intake boot which explains the popping etc. on the right cylinder. The boot itself looks old and dry rotted so I went ahead and ordered replacement ones. I dont know if it will fix my problem completely, but it will surely help. I will have more updates at the end of this week. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is wide open. Leak was discovered and fixed. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Is it running on both cylinders? Like I said before, I've seen this when the wrong pin height pistons are used. Do you still have the piston box or receipt? Did you hone the cylinders? This is stock stroke, stock rod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
