| Post subject: | engine problems |
I've been fixing a few bits and pieces since i got my zook and well i finally got to the motor so i got a mate to give me a hand. we set the timing and tuned it up and got it running real nice then we adjusted the valves and thats where my problem started i bolted the valve cover back on and went to start it and it just wouldn't start so i checked the valves again and tried it again and still didn't start. it wasn't turning over the best so i thought it might of been the battery so i replaced that and that didn't really help now i think the starter motor has had it because it grinds and only works half time. has anyone had similar problems? i'm new to this sort of stuff so any help or advice would be muchly apreciated Cheers Mike |

did you move or remove the distributor when you pulled the valve cover off? |

nah when it was running we set it at 8degrees BTDC like it says on the bonnet and didn't touch it after that |

did you pull the leads off or the cap off to get the valve cover on and off? sure nobody moved the dizzy? very hard to get the cover off without it |

i'm pretty sure, i checked the firing order before i reconected the leads i checked to see if it was was getting spark with an old plug and it wasn't getting the brightest spark |

sounds like one or more of the valves aren't opening which could cause a compression lockup and hence, the slow cranking.I would check the valve clearances again. Other than that it sounds a bit like retarded timing. |

someone told me that if a car blows black smoke it can be the rings or the vavles i'm not sure if thats true or not but it used to blow shit loads of smoke could that have something to do with it? |

Black smoke means it's getting too much fuel |
