Indrid cold Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 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?

Jerry DeMoss Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Check your coil.Also take your cap off and inspect cap and rotor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 The EA81 had a chain Ed? I didn't know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indrid cold Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
