G'Day, I have an 87 KC Laser that is running rough and is gutless. I have changed plugs, leads, distributor cap and rotor arm. I have also stripped down and cleaned the carby. Has anyone got any ideas. Thanks.

I hav'nt done any compression testing yet, but i am starting to think along the lines of a valve or a piston.

Yeah can't be too precise on that, might be an idea to get it looked at if you've done all the general things.

Have you given it an oil change. sometimes the oil gets too gluggy to pump up to the overhead cams?
