bad news.today i did a compression test,less than 50psi on cyl 4, so looks like valve trouble after all, really depressed now!

thanks for advice guys i had it running again tonight, it seems to fire on all four when the throttle is blipped but on lower throttle openings still on three, so maybe carbs are the problem after all! petrol is getting to carb ok and vent pipes are clear, no extra sparks in dark.

thanks for quick response guys will try again. Ref cam timing i reckon it was 90 degrees out, some "expert" did it before, luckily i only turned it over slowly on the kickstarter and stopped as soon as it went solid! hope i have not got a bent valve, i have just ordered a 12mm converter for the compression gauge which should throw some light on it!

steve it dosn't seem that wet when i remove the plug, so i tried squirting carb cleaner in the carb and a bit in the cylinder, expecting it to fire but no luck!

hi guys would like some tips to get my k3 running better. After 28 years in bits the engine now runs, but only on three cyls, no 4 is not firing. I have swapped plugs and checked timing, also opened gap on valves which seemed to improve matters slightly.New plugs points and coils fitted but only occasional spit back through no 4 carb, if plug lead taken off with engine running it makes no difference.When checked against earth plug has strong spark.Is it likely that it is a valve problem, the head and barrels were rebuilt by po, and i already discovered cam timing was well out!! Any ideas welcome, thanks,Mick

back to the slow jets, now the new ones are in i sawed an old one in half, the through holes were solid at both ends but clear in the middle, as if they were deliberately blocked, so i checked another one, it was the same, weird! no way to clear them exept to drill so glad i got new ones.

hi Nigel welcome to the forum! As a k3 owner i have the same problem, 4/4 exhausts are almost impossible to find (see my other posts for details).In fact i bought a complete bike just to get some ! I dont think anyone will re-manufacture them as the costs would be too great for the limited market, so NOS or s/h is the only way, i have a 4/1 motad for now! regards, Mick
