Hi
Now I have tried to start my Holbay replica engine, but there is a problem that I need some help with.
It blows out the exhaust from the carburetor from the cylinder 2 and 3. I have checked the valve clearance, ignition sequence, and compression, this is ok. Cylinder 1 and 4 is ok
Can I have installed a wrong camshaft? it is bought as original Holbay.
It is marked: MC 24002 N, 1981079, and R. Does anyone have any good advice?
Best regards Jan, Norway

It won't go as quick and might not run as smoothly - but yes.

Yes that is the problem.
Do you know if I can use the std. cam in my engine? How will that work?

If the valves open in the wrong order that must be the cam for an iron head engine.

The only difference between a Holbay cam and a standard aluminium head cam (295 or 298) is the profile and lift.

I have found the error, it is not a correct camshaft in the engine.
This camshaft must be to a engine wth 1 carburetor. The inlet and exhaust valves on cylinder No. 2 and 3 opens in wrong order.
Does anyone have a Holbay camshaft for sale?
