well I have been working on the new Kat over the weekend and something just isn't right... seems to take a while to warm up and has a mag drop at a certain rev, ya cant feel a miss but it does not sound right.
Checked the tappit clearances out and all seems ok, cams are good apart from exhaust lobe 2, which dosent look as shiny as the others.
Now check out the state of the plugs in the attached pic... #2 not looking good aye? why is that? heres the compression results
rounded up to the nearest 5psi
165
145
160
165
actual reading
165
148
162
168
My 1st thought is burnt valve as the exhaust sound is the same as I have heard before when this has been the case.
However it has been pointed out that if a valve was burnt out then the compression reading would be 0psi.
What do you guys reckon? I havent had a chance to strip the carbs yet...
