Hello All, thanks Bobbi. No i've not been ignoring people but I lost the thread (as opposed to the plot
) but I've found it again.
Here's the latest..............
Got the starter back from the shop. The guy could'nt find anything wrong it just needed a clean up and he greased the bearings.
I got it home and it slotted straight in.yipeeeeeeee a result. It must be all the practice i'm getting
The plugs were out so I pressed the button.yipeeeeeeee it spins over like a 'good'un'.
Put in a couple of plugs,,,,,,,, all well put in a third,bugger its turning over but slower than with two plugs.
Put in the last plug,,,,,,,,,,,,,,buggery, buggery buggery (as mike harding said in one of his stories) won't turn over.
I pulled the plugs...............................
stuck me finger over one of the plug holes and pressed the starter.......wow compression excellent, me finger was pushed away from the hole with a gratifying 'pop'.
stuck me finger over another one of the plug holes and pressed the starter.......wow compression excellent, me finger was pushed away from the hole with a gratifying 'pop'.
;
stuck me finger over yet another one of the plug holes and pressed the starter.......wow compression excellent, me finger was pushed away from the hole with a gratifying 'pop'.
stuck me finger over the last one of the plug holes and pressed the starter.......bugger, very little compression.
Now by my reckonong its got to be a dodgy valve or knacked rings, I hope someone can tell me i'm wrong........please.
If it is one of these why won't the 'flippin thing turn over with all of the plugs in?
Could this be to do with the solenoid? It sounds like it .
HELP........please.
Thanks again for the replies, I'll keep an eye on the thread in the future, I know I'm a very very naughty boy
Regards
K
