Just finished all the work I had planned for this spring. Bump steer kit, CB fuel pump and cleaned (rebuilt ) the carb that has been giving me problems. Seemed to be running great. As I am going up a hill near home I hear a pop and the engine sounds like a sewing machine. First I thought I had lost a gear in the tranny but that seems fine. I checked the compression and all cylinders are 120. Car starts fine but sounds like one or more of the valves are real loud. Any explanation besides the one I fear (trashed motor).
Joe I think I broke your motor. Mike |
