hot and cold

[jarno]

Hallo i have a question

when i start my engine the left side stays cold but i think it is running on 2 cillinders.
also the left sparkplug stays wet but it has a good spark
what is the problem.

if not coil[try swapping leads round]
i think your tickover screw on the left needs turning in[raising the throttle
body]

I will take a look at the carburetators i have cleaned them so it is possible

thanks

sounds like a crank seal has gone, see if the gearbox oil smells of petrol is the easiest way to check and it will be harder to start. It maybe using gearbox oil too although the flywheel side runs dry.

Just another avenue to check, i cant see it being carbs as the plug is wet.

Hi Jarno,

but i think it is running on 2 cillinders.

is it running on 2 or not: do both exhausts get warm?

groeten,
