I once let a friend(Eric Ellis in Dallas) borrow a dp engine for his baja and I guess he pissed off someone in his apartment complex because they poured bb's down the oil filler neck and locked up the cam and cam gear! :redguy:

I now put a screen under the gen/alt stand!

Haha, that is a good idea with the screen, I'm thinking about wiring a hot wire to my handle

Well, its not bad gas, spark plugs, points or wires, I have no idea what is wrong

Valves been gaped?
Take apart the carb and blow it out with compressed air....

Yeah valves were gaped about 2 months ago and the carb was rebuilt a month ago. Im almost positive I lost compression in my #4 cylinder

I have had that problem with the 56 one time. Tim Drachenburg fixed it fior me at the Demontrond show. It took longer to get something to thread through the jet than it did to fix it. Car has ran great ever since :thumbs:
