It sounds like only one cylinder is firing too. Do you have spark at both spark plugs? Do either/both plugs look fouled? Have you replaced the plugs to see if that helps? Definitely check compression.

I've been talking down to sheerider11 and we narrowed it down to a leak down test and some electrical test.

Cool. Most times it's something stupid simple. Good luck and post up if you find it.

Not being a smart ass or anything like that, but when you assembled it, were the pistons put in the right way?

Yeah that was brought to my attention yesterday. Im almost certain that they are in correctly, but mistakes happen. Im going to double check when I take my exhaust off for the leakdown test.

If nothing else helps ohm plug caps separately, 5K , trim 1/4" off wires , install caps with dielectric grease. Clean nubs on the flywheel of rust, set pickup gap, .018"

Check that ALL connections are clean, tight, add dielectric grease. Grounds also !! Check ground at stator and stator plate to engine case, no white corrosion allowed.

What series pistons are in it?

 

I have seen that with the long rod 573 series pistons put on short rods. What is the squish?

**UPDATE**

 

Sorry it took so long guys was waiting on a leakdown tester to come in the mail.

 

Long story short I did the leakdown test and found a major leak on my right intake boot which explains the popping etc. on the right cylinder. The boot itself looks old and dry rotted so I went ahead and ordered replacement ones.

 

I dont know if it will fix my problem completely, but it will surely help.

 

I will have more updates at the end of this week.

 

Thanks guys!

Is it running on both cylinders?

 

Like I said before, I've seen this when the wrong pin height pistons are used. Do you still have the piston box or receipt? Did you hone the cylinders? This is stock stroke, stock rod?
