Re: Tuning question


In a message dated 97-07-23 21:27:57 EDT, you write:

<< I also noticed that disconnecting the spark plug wires from cylinders 1 or
2
 do not seem to affect the idle of the engine, while disconnecting 3 or 4
 almost stalls the engine. >>

  If you get no drop in RPM/idle/performance when you unplug the cylinders,
then they are not firing! 
   First things to check, other than those you have already tried, check the
 compression in all cylinders. This will tell you alot (read you IDIOT book .
. .)
Then spray carb cleaner around the base of the carbs at #1&2 (carefully, with
a cool engine - fire hazard you know  :)   ) to check for intake gasket
leaks. Then check your head bolts to be sure there not loose (cyl to head
leaks). 
   Anyone else?
