November 5, 200520 yr Havn't had much time to dive into it... Been acting up last little bit.. finaly parked it about 2 months ago. Spark, poured some gas down carb... still won't fire... hmmmmm... Fresh Fuel filter by pump and seperator in engine replaced. If not raining tomorow will dive in.... any thoughts for game plan?
November 5, 200520 yr If you have spark and the plugs are in good shape you might see if spraying some starting fluid into the intake will get things going. If that doesn't work then I would suspect a timing belt problem and check the compression next to see what that shows up.
November 5, 200520 yr 84 Brat is most likely a EA81 engine without a timing belt. However it would be wise to check the compression and see if the timing is at least close (rotor pointing at #1 plug wire every 2nd revolution at Top Dead Center on the flywheel). Compression check is good too. If you have spark and the plugs are in good shape you might see if spraying some starting fluid into the intake will get things going. If that doesn't work then I would suspect a timing belt problem and check the compression next to see what that shows up.
November 6, 200520 yr Author Yea, EA-81. All good ideas... except timing belts;) Everytime I get thinking about diving into the Brat it rains. I woke up and raining. hmmmm I did have it timed right on... just started acting up slowly over time kept getting worse. Let me think about it till I get the garage cleaned out as winter is coming fast and then maybe get into this winter....
