So here is the back ground:
I have now checked all of the injectors and they do not leak, spray patterns are consistent, as are flow amounts. I have checked the CDI hook up and spark and found spark to be present and adequate. I have checked and rechecked the plug wires and connections and they are correct. Firing order is 1-6-2-4-3-5 going clockwise. So what the hell am I seeing, or more correctly hearing? I set the engine to TDC on #1, set dizzy so notch for #1 on the lip of the dizzy is pointing directly at the retainer band for the alt/fan, and set rotor to point at said notch. I turn the key and it catches and runs mroe than it did before, but it back fires through the air box (good thing I installed the popoff valve) with a thunderous explosion. It almost sounds like there is a plug wire on the wrong plug. I try again after moving the dizzy slightly and I get no running and another explosion. I had the cold start valve unplugged (I think I do, it is on the right hand side and I pulled the wire out). So I remove #1 plug and find it to be wet which matched the fuel smell I was getting the whole time. So now I am letting the engine sit for now to evaporate any excess gas. Please help me generate a check list for what to look at and adjust. Could it be 180 out and still act like this? Do I have a rare crank that changes my firing order (ya right)? I am wondering why this is being so damn difficult. I wonder if the shop put the cams on the wrong side, or if I am missing some pistons (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
