88 sounds odd

[mikecotterill]

Hi I bought an old 88 a while back and I'm not sure it sounds right. There seems to be a "put put put put" while it's cutting. Had a thought it may be an air leak, also think it's done it when u rev it then let go? Any ideas much appreciated cheers mike

Is the decompression valve stuck?

Gets my vote for a first look, happened with us on that 357 on Tuesday!

I'll have a look later but it wasn't sticking when it fired up on full choke. Cheers guys

Bad man - the Orange and Silver revolution is coming:thumbup:

 

Decomp makes sense with lowering of compression - the decomps can fall apart so may be worth swapping it out also the air they let in may cause overheating.
