Fireblade firing problem
GavBurns - 4/12/06 at 02:46 PM

Hi
When my locoblade is running it sounds a bit rough and I noticed that the carb trumpet above cylinder 2 was popping so I took the HT lead off cylinder 2 whilst the engine was running and it made no difference at all, so I thought that the cylinder wasn't firing, I took the plug out and it was sparking like hell. I don't know what is causing it.
Anybody had a similar problem or know what the problem is??

sound coil pack problem.

is there a spark on the other spark plug from the same coil pack ?

can you swap the two coil packs over and see if the pronlem moves with the coil back ?

Depends which cylinder you call #2, but the one 2nd from the gearbox output shaft end has a small air bleed pipe under it which can lean off the mixture if not blocked off.
