4. Ground the other spark plug and again note the
RPM loss.
If the difference between the two cylinders does
not
exceed
75 RPM
, the amount of work the two
cylinders are doing is considered equal.
An RPM loss
greater than 75 RPM
indicates that the
cylinder with the lower RPM loss is the weaker of the
two cylinders. Look to that cylinder for a problem.
See example below.
Engine RPM – Both Cylinders =
3400 RPM
Engine RPM – Cylinder #1 Grounded =
3300 RPM
Engine RPM – Cylinder #2 Grounded =
3100 RPM
Conclusion: Cylinder #1 is weaker cylinder.
NOTE:
A partially sheared flywheel key will affect
ignition timing and engine performance.
Problems Affecting One Cylinder
NOTE:
A two cylinder engine will run on one
cylinder as long as the power required for
the application does not exceed the power
produced by one cylinder.
1. Spark plug – A fouled spark plug may also
indicate that carburetor is out of adjustment.
2. Spark plug wire
3. Head gasket
4. Intake manifold – A leak at either end of the
intake manifold will affect only one cylinder.
5. Valves
6. Rings
7. Piston
8. Cylinder
Problems Affecting Two Cylinders
1. Carburetion
2. Crankcase vacuum
3. Ignition timing
