RE: [Honda-C70] Engine kicks over but no compression

 

Hi Thomas:

Glad to help – as said, they are just suggestions/possibilities as to what may ail your C70.

I'd love a 4 speed motor - I've got two more CT70's to build in the future – but unless you live in southern Ontario, getting it here might prove problematic, whether shipped or otherwise. I appreciate your offer, however

Have you torqued down the head-bolts lately, and if so, is there a
possibility they've been over-torqued - pulling the stud out of the head or
snapping it?

Just a wild stab in the dark - I've got a CT70 motor sitting on the bench
that had me scratching my head for a bit, until I figured out that the PO
pulled the stud out of the case by over-torquing it, and then epoxied the
stud back in place and sold it on to me .. (doh!) .. ran for a little bit,
and then hard-starting, and finally no compression as the epoxy gave way -
just whistles out the head gasket when it's kicked over.

As I said, just a stab in the dark, something to check in terms of the motor
compression. Oil/gas leaks around the top-end gaskets would be a dead
giveaway, right off the bat.

Otherwise - check valve clearances to make sure one isn't hanging open and
banging up against the piston (the sound you might be hearing on kick-over?)

Easy enough to pull the top end off and see what's what, in any case.

is the auto clutch out of adjustment is that why the compression is gone.
