K100 - 87 2 and 4 cyl complete dead
« on: July 03, 2024, 04:47:13 PM »
Hi.

I am out of ideas at this point. Now I need help...  :johnny
4 and 2 cylinder is complete dead. engine works only front cylinders.
-compression pressure is ok every cylinder.
-injectors is ok. Changed places and no changed.
-coil/leads/spark plugs ok.
-valve clearanse is ok. Inside range.
-timing chain is set right.
...Tps, filters etc has been checked...
 I am confused and out of ideas :idunno:

It's a wasted spark system so 1&4 and 2&3 should fire together.

How are the spark plug leads attached to the coils?

Should be like this:

I have aftermarket "single" coil at this moment.
I know this is waste spark system so coil failure or Hall wont sound logic to me. But if would know what is the reason I wouldnt ask😄 thanks for reply.
And sorry for bad english. Some of comes from autocorrect...

Are the HT leads and pin connections set up like the diagram below?

Yes. I checked those again.

When I only have 1 and 3 cylinder injectors connected engine works smoother.
When I connected 2 and 4 those just makes randomly missfire. Sound like fireworks start explode.

The diagram I posted is a screen shot from BSK's installation video. Although the video's subject was their custom ignition system, it also showed where the HT leads were connected on the coil housing terminals. I added the wiring connections based on the positions of the HT leads—2 & 3 in line with black/red; 1 & 4 in line with black/blue. I consider their printed instructions confusing, too; luckily the video clarified it for me. I guess it's working for you, too. Keep us posted.

Yeah. Those printed instructions were short words
 so it misleads me and cost me a lot of extra time for nothing.
But if we look at the good things. Now I'm starting to get to know my bike (first brick)  :laughing1: there have been a couple of other things.
Maybe this weekend I will get the first test drive with the 4-cylinder block  :laughing1:

With all the weight loss it should be fine on just the two front cylinders.  And it would have a more interesting exhaust note.

Exhaust sound I liked more than now :laughing1:
Exxept missfire/fireworks sound wasnt so nice.
Performance.... Well.. You can drive on traffic...acceleration something similar to that of a normal car.
