Idles smooth, sputters coming from muffler like its running on one cylinder
Hi T:
Interesting as smooth idle and sputter are contra-indications.
- Smooth idle should be healthy
- Sputter could indicate problem:
- mis-fire? Possible bad spark plug or bad exhaust valve. Pull spark plugs to check to see if any are fouled. Compression check will help depermine why fouling is happening.
How many cylinders?
How many Km on engine?
With engine hot, Remove oil filler cap and see if any vapour indicating blow by (bad rings)
My suggestion?
Do some more checking and reply as a comment on this post. Will assist if I can.
Cheers.
