Yeah dude, many names on many forums its hard trying to remember them all

I would strip the rings out cos even if you free them up the oxidized metal and carbon build up could effectivly lap/score your bores.
As Danny P says sump and head off scotchbright the bores pistons and grooves, oh and clean out oil jets while you are there.
Cost a bit but better than taking it apart twice

been out today done a compression test cylinders 1 and 2 are low at 100 psi and 2 and 3 are at 150 psi also found that it had chewed the rotar arm to peices how it was still running not sure i have played with the carbs and it not smoking as much but there still isues me thinks

[danny_p]

ouch,  those compression numbers are a bit to low  really need to find whats causeing the inbalance in readings and why,    Two cyls reading low is often headgasket, 100 is bad  but 150 is reall a bit low as well. but at least theer not knackerd piston low 

as darn PB said   get some heat into it that'll help things get moveing  and see if the smoke will burn off, then do another CR test to see if the numbers come up.  and go from there

cheers fella
been driving it about today a bit and the smoke seems to come and go when it feels like it im getting a tiny bit of black smoke out of the breather but its not smoking no were near as much as it was on tick over and fook me it pulls like a train
i have messed about with the carbs a little and that seems to have made a bit of difference in the smoke to i will run it about tom and then do a nother cp test on monday


what should the figures be m8
