Suggest removing the cable to see if it will idle down
My question is what do you think is causing the wot startup? Also what do you think the knock might be now
Ayuh,..... Look at the Carb,.... Is the throttle at Wot,..?? Disconnect the throttle linkage,..... Look at what the carb's doin',.....
As for the knockin',.... Donno,.... Square one in knock diagnosis,.....
At idle, remove each spark plug wire one at a time, 'n see if the knock lessens, or goes away,...
That's the problem cylinder,...
Well back to the drawing board. Motor I bought has a cracked cylinder. I pulled the heads and water was in them like before. Out of 8 cylinders 6 were scored beyond boring, and one was cracked. I trusted someone that has a great local reputation. Bought a Marine motor from him that he said runs great. Now I am out money and anything resembling a working motor. I am ready to scream. I have a good block, but I just dont have the money to buy new pistons. I can get rings, and bearings but can I use my old pistons?
