    Default Help Please!!!

    hi

    I have a 5K twin-weber set up in my KE20. The webers seem to be leaking fuel out of the airfilter holes and also when I remove leads 1 or 2 from the spark plugs the engine starts to splutter as it should but when I remove 3 or 4 there is little difference

    does anyone know what I can do to fix this.

    sorry if it doesn't make sense

    sounds like a possible head gasket. Are you loosing coolant? is there water in the oil or oil in the coolant?

    Do a comp test to check it out.

    you mean fuel is coming out of the float chamber vent holes?

    if that is the case, either your float needles are not seating properly, or your fuel pressure is too high, or the floats need to be adjusted.

    if taking the leads off or 4 doesn't make any difference at all... then those cylindes are not firing.
    check park plugs, swap leads around (to see if the leads are dodgy) and go from there (and comp check as 30psi suggested)

    naa I am not losing any coolant. done a compression test and everything seems fine. I have taken the webbers off and adjusted the float level so that they are all the same but still no luck and there is fuel coming out of the float chamber vent holes. The fuel is not gushing out its just like a slow leak

    have checked all the leads all are arking fine. its running off a mallory ignitor
