Engine cranks OK, but loud popping sound coming from engine as it cranks and black soot coming out of exhaust.
Bled fuel system but it didn't help. |

Removed valve covers and rocker arm assembly this morning and discovered bent push rods on both the intake and exhaust valves of the rear cylinder. Now what caused that? |

It turned out to be a stuck intake valve. I freed the valve by tapping cautiously with a hard-plastic mallet and spraying brake cleaner onto the valve stem. |
