Subject: Thoughts appreciated
I have a 2 litre with zenith carbs which currently will not run. When last out I broke the rocker pin and rocker, I do not drive my car particularly fast, but I did find the bronze spacer, in two parts, in the cam box! Compression tests show 120 on 1 to 3 and 100 on 4 which is the cylinder that had the broken rocker and pin. Incidentally the cylinder head is around 2 years old.
Having now replaced the rocker and pin (after regretably a few months inactivity) the car would not start. Having heated the plugs it will start with kigass pump (and continue if I keep pumping) but comes to a stop, with spitting from a carb or cards soon after. Now my car ran and started well before so I can not understand why it will not run now - ideas really appreciated.
