Hi everyone,
I`m at the stage of getting my 50 Champion 170 6 cyl running.
Well I did get it to run kinda, but not like I hoped.
Couldn`t get the timing mark anywhere near the pointer with a strobe and it was running like a dog no matter where I moved the Dizzy
Did a compression check and #3 had zero #2 60psi with all the rest 120 psi
So I pulled the head and found #3 inlet valve stuck wide open
While the head was off I turned the crank until #1 was at TDC on it`s compression stroke, only to find the timing marks 180 out
How`s that possible if there`s one crank bolt that`s offset ?
Also for the life of me I can`t figure out what the marking on the pulley UDC stands for ?
IN-OP must stand for inlet opening I guess but UDC ?
I`m more used to BTDC and ATDC
Anyone enlighten this dumb ole geezer !!!! lol
I have a new head gasket coming from Autozone Yep they have them Felpro and at a few pennies over $25 !!!!!!
Which I thought was a result !!!
So hopefully it will be running like as clock soon. ;o)
