Questioncan't get it started having carburtor problems maybe more.
Gas run out of two carbs and getting water out of the drain on 2 others. Fresh gas, Pulled plug on one of the front cylinders and got some water out there also. Im thinking either I managed to get water in the gas or possible head leaking from water jacket. Is there water around the sleeve also or just head ?. Hoping not to have a crack in the cylinder . The two carburators that had some water in them were the ones that didn;t overflow with gas and the two that had water no gas drained out. Confusing I'm sure.
Thanks Ron
AnswerRon,
sounds like alot of problems, all you can do is
tackle them one at a time.
-Carbs shouldn't overflow at all if the float
levels are correct, carb is clean and float
needle/valves are not faulty.
-How are getting so much water everywhere?
Do you have water/coolant in the oil?
Maybe you can get the system pressure tested
for leaks at a service center.
-The head gasket could be leaking, but
maybe if you just blow any water out and
start by fixing the carb leaks, you can
go on to see what else is wrong.
-Try draining the cooling system until
you can get it to fire up, that
way no more water or coolant will
get in to things. Then refill it, pressure
test it or see if it runs okay with water/coolant.
-water in your carbs is not likely the cooling
system, has to come from the gas tank or
condensation or sabotage.
Coolant leaking usually pollutes the oil
making it milky colored.
