Frustrated with this one - twin 470/3.7 engines and both were running well, had been at idle for a while when one motor started to splutter and then died.
Started back up but it was running rough and so went back to base on on one engine.
Have check compression 135 (as has been normal with this engine each check), spark okay on spark tester, timing set okay approx 5 degrees btdc (have checked it is on correct stroke), fuel okay and swapped carby over to one that works on the other engine.
Someone thought it maybe a worn cam or cam gear jumped but not sure how to check if this is the issue - removed rocker cover and valves all seem to open and shut.
Hope someone has come across this before and can assist.
