Hey all,
I was wondering if a maladjusted valve clearance could cause a motor to barely run. The motor won't run without throttle even then super rough; it is also spitting gas from the carburetor intake (compressing before the valve closes?).
Is this a timing issue? Damaged or stuck valves? I'd like to discuss all possibilities before tearing the head off. I won't be able to do a leak down test until next week.
I've almost completely rebuilt the carburetors and the floats are not malfunctioning, they are squeaky clean.
I've also been setting the valves in neutral, turning the engine through the nut on the rotor, I feel like this isn't giving me the most accurate TDC. Could this be an issue?
Thanks for reading!
