ITS ALIVE!

The timing was out, so the spark was going when the piston was down the bottom.

now all i need is a clutch and she will be sweet.

Im agreeing, wouldnt have got as far on repairs with my 89 elite, even though its still not running i still appreciate everyone thats helping me either from sourcing parts or just general repair

Hrmmn silly question, how do i know if the bi starter is functioning?

i have 2 bi starters (1 on the elite, 1 spare)

THe carb will get cleaned at after work today (its 7:30AM here)

the seals LOOK fine, but i'll double check it. * i'll just replace them to rule em out.

i'll learn how to clean the carb & bystarter tonight when i get home from work.

i'll give you guys an update tomorrow. im so waiting for the moment i hear the elite roar again

its a stock filter.

but the odd thing is if there was fuel getting in there wouldnt piston be wet from it exspecially if the engine doesnt fire? i took the head off, and it was dry as a bone.

So i just got my alternator fixed, i now have spark again :rock:

Now it seems theres an issue with petrol getting to the engine.

heres the story:

I put my 89 Elite back together (mostly) and attempted to fire it up. nope not starting. i noticed there was alotta air getting sucked in ...

seal there is fine.

the engine still has a poping sound when i try power the elite on?

im lost. again.

Lol. this is funny

As someone said earlier, my thoughts dont count due to being newb
BUT Im on bears side for this. He's pretty down to earth as far as i can see.


if ae86 cant proove what is done i call , we can all go around saying stuff we didnt do. its not that hard.

the popping sound has stayed since it broke down, i replace the piston, head n rings because i THOUGHT it would correct the issue. which it hasn't.
the seal under where the belt is, is fine. i cant get to the seal on the other side, due to i cant find a dang puller for the fly wheel.

i think it hit the top due to, the previous piston was pretty messed up, the pin that holds the piston head to the shaft of it had pushed right through to the top, and was sticking out. thats what i think caused it to hit the spark. once the new piston went in, it was fine.

and thanks, public ...

no movement whatsoever bud.

Hey Guys,

i was just doing my usual thing, heading home from work :coolcruise: , when there was a pressurized bang, and i lost power.
Got off the road, and tried to turn it back on again, it just wouldn't turn over and there was this popping noise as i attempted to start it.

Got home, took the ...
