RE: [DMCForum] HA!!! Crag make fire!!!



mmmm...Crag like fire...fire good.  But seriously, congratulations!  You
now
know you have the chain and sprockets back on correctly.

One quick suggestion from me though, would be to wait on the other new
parts
and try starting it again a few times.  This would help reduce the number
of
additional problems should it not start after you put the new stuff on.
Did
that make sense?

Subject: [DMCForum] HA!!! Crag make fire!!!


Today, I dropped to my knees and thanked God for helping me start my car.

Well sort of...

After soaking for 2 days in Marvel Mystery Oil my compression shot up
to 150 psi. (For those who care, the specs are 114-156 psi, engine
HOT, throttle wide open) Previously, it was 100-120 psi, but that's
engine cold because the thing wouldn't start.

At any rate, with fuel disconnected, and Marvel in the chamber, I gave
it a shot of ether. It fired, struggled, then ran -briefly- (10-15
seconds) on ether. The timing appeared correct, I didn't have time for
the timing light but the engine chugged along without "fighting" itself.

After that, the plugs fouled with Marvel and the starter wouldn't
crank it fast enough. Battery's charging.

I suspect my problems are two-fold. Low compression due to slow
cranking, and weak spark. I'm going to replace the coil, wires and
plugs with something hotter...18-20,000 volts, Bosch +4's and some
good wires.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
