burnt valve
okay i was reading somewhere and they said to check for a burnt exhaust valve is that to put a peice of paper by the muffler and if it sucks the muffler in than u have a burnt exhaust valve..
how is that so..
when the intake is open and piston down i know it create vaccum and it sucks in air... wouldn't having a burnt valve kinda wouldn't the air escape thru the chipped exhaust valve and out thru the exhaust. low compression thus it trying to suck in air. explain thanks..

Re: burnt valve (soon2bdropped)
When the intake valve is open & the piston is moving down in the intake stroke, there's a strong vacuum because the throttle is closed. It sucks exhaust back in thru the cracked valve.
I thought that test would work better on a lawnmower engine where there isn't 3 other cylinders all doing their thing at the same time...
