I have a lt230s 1989. I just swapped heads from a lt230e and it has spark just won't start. Please help! I bought three lt230 in the last week. I really want this one to run

 

Did you get the timing right? Valve lash set? Fuel bad?

 

My fuel is new and I believe my timing is right. How do you set the valve lash? And I got towed by a truck and was able to start it but I cant kickstart it and it didn't rev to good

 

It's gona be hard to kick start if your timing is out Mine was also when I pull started it

 

Make sure the notches are horizontal to the head. Make sure your at tdc. When the cam Notches are horizontal make sure the cam lobes for Intake and exhaust are down. Set both valve lashes. Intake- .02 exhaust .04..if your at tdc and you she lash when te lobes are up it will fight itself am run like a pile and you'll hear a ticking like the valve I hitting the piston!!! Not good! I've been threw all these problems with my overbore and cam swap!

 

Thanks alot! I'll let you know how that turns out. Is there pics of how the cam should look when set. I'm not too familiar with this lol

 

Go to google and type in 92 suzuki lt230 timing marks and there should be a picture in the images that showers a drawed out cam gear and at the bottom shows specs! Sorry it won't let me paste on here with my phone

 

One more thing! Is there a certain way to put in the chain tensior? And the decompresion lever ? Thanks

 

We'll the flat head screw on the cam ten is losend that means the spring releases the pressure on the cam chain guides after I got my cam and gears and all that back on then I put the tensioner back in and I'm pretty sure it self adjusts but I never unscrewed that screw just took the bolts out

 

Just make sure the lever Is up when u put the head on and put the bolt in it that holds it that what I did
