    Just put Cylinder Head on - misfiring


    righto ho.. can anyone help?

    i fitted the cylinder head last night to my S2. Now it fired up fine.. but is running on 3 cylinders. It sounds like a tractor and i found out it is pot 2 beacasue i took each ht lead of in sequence and nowt happened on lead 2.

    is this a timing issue? as i have checked the plugs and leads and all are fine ???

    i also did a compression test and all pots were nigh dead on 9 bar ?

    has anyone any ideas as i played with the dizzy and nowt happened

    ta peeps

    odd that it's still not happy after checking the compression and ignition. Have you swapped the plugs about the cylinders to check for a plug fault? When I had an RST it went through plugs like they were going out of fashion, near enough every time I had a fault like that it was the plugs. Tried swapping trhe HT leads too?

    HTH

    could also check fuel but I'm asuming that as your not screaming at being a ball of flame that thats all ok

    BTW I'm not a professional mechanic......
