I think it's time for me to stop monopolizing the forum and simply have my brother look at this thing and get it working again. I could go around and around here for the next year and probably be no farther along UNLESS it turns out to be the timing. I'll ignore the exhaust valve.
Curious though...why would the exhaust valve be directly below the plug? When the plug fires...how does it ignite the fuel/air mixture? |
As long as a spark plug is in the combustion chamber, location only matters to get the best possible combustion. Early K series the plug was between the intake and exhaust valves. It was moved to the front over the exhaust valve, we believe, to get a better, or more clean burn. It seems to be a better location, as the guys who pull or "ramp up" the power of the motor say that head can make a bit more power.
I agree.... probably time to just get it over to your bro.
