"if u have determined,that,is the problem,....disc throttle cable,observe the part that is trying to rotate,under flywheel,..spray the hell outa it all the way around till she free's up....w/wd40"
 
copression is good no spark on

copression is good no spark on passanger bank power packs are good puting new coils on that bank hoping again? thanks joe any more help is greatly app.ps we pulled the fly wheel off. the timer base moved freely we have good spark on the one bank but not the other
 
Kurt.... Pay attention to who

Kurt.... Pay attention to who is giving you advice. You've thanked me twice but those thanks should have been directed at JWB.
 
back again thought i would see

"Either you've had the fly

"Either you've had the flywheel off and failed to torque the flywheel nut to 145 foot pounds which would result in a sheared flywheel key (out of time), OR you've hooked up some wires incorrectly from the timer base to powerpack or from the power pack to the coils."
 
wires are all hooked up back t

wires are all hooked up back to where they were we did have the fly wheel off torque could be the issue shoudnt be will check tomarrow if pin is sheared what next if pin is sheared ?thanks for the info joe any more info. is greatly app.thanks kurt
 
CHECKED THE FLYWHEEL KEY ITS

CHECKED THE FLYWHEEL KEY ITS OK CHECKED ALL THE WIRES AGAIN EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE ITS WHERE ITS SUPPOSED TO BE STARTS UP STILL HAVE GOOD COMPRESSION BUT SPARK LOOKS WEAK AGAIN STILL BACKFIRES IT IS FIRIRG ON ALL SIX CYLINDERS GOT ME REALLY STUMPED ANY HELP WOULD GREATLY BE APP.

"i bet ,u have mis located,the coil wires.....look at the color code on the wires,..orange blue,top cyl,orange-middle cyl,orange grn-bottom cyl....."
 
THANKS JWB FOR THE COLOR CODE

THANKS JWB FOR THE COLOR CODE WENT BACK OVER THE WIRES THEY ALL ARE IN PLACE AS YOU SAID STILL SCRATCHING MY HEAD COULD IT BE A BAD COIL OR POWER PACK THAT ISNT GIVING THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF VOLTAGE ? TALKING ABOUT THE BACKFIRING PROBLEM IF SO HOW OR WHAT DO I NEED TO CHECK THE VOLTAGE THANKS AGAIN FOR THE HELP BETTER THAN ANY OTHER WEBSITES THANKS AGAIN KURT O
 
"the most common things,that c

"the most common things,that cause a severe backfire,are a sheered flywheel key,or wires where they are not supposed to be.......you are talking about backfiring thru the EXHAUST??"
 
"If the coil primary wires lea

"If the coil primary wires leading from the powerpack to the coils are, as JWB states, where they should be:

Top - Orange/Blue
Center - Orange
Bottom - Orange/Green

And those wires are leading to the correct bank, and you're sure that the flywheel key has not sheared, either the wires from the timer base to the powerpack are crossed OR the center epoxied timing sensor magnets located at the inner portion of the flywheel have started to melt down and have moved someewhat."
 
"Kurt,

Did you figure out t

"Kurt,

Did you figure out the problem with your engine? My engine is having the same problem. At first it idled great but would bog out and die when you gave it throttle. Now it idles poorly and backfires and still dies when you give it throttle. I am curious to see if you resolved your problem. Thanks."
