Pug 205 1.4 only running on 3 pistons.

My little Pug project (see signature) is coming along nicely.

 

But at the moment its only running on 3 of the 4 pistons. I'm getting a good spark from all plugs and they are fireing in the correct order.

 

I'm borrowing a compresion tester this weekend, (or I should say dad is) to check somehting (sorry my knowledge now goes rapidly down hill)

 

But is there anything else I could or should be checking?

 

We have had the rocker cover off and the valves arnt moving much on the dodgy piston.

 

Cheers guys...

Well if its carb fuelled (which I assume it is) and has a spark then the only thing left really is low compression. Maybe the head gasket has gone?

 

oh i hope not :( doing the compression test this weekend so i guess that will confirm. yup its carb fuelled.

 

did you check the plug leads, cap etc ?

 

yup, all are good.
