SV: Bsa Wm20 warming up

Hello,

Not many things to choose from; either incorrect ignition timing or too lean mixture (maybe caused from leaking intake)- unless any mechanical incorrectness such as beginning seizing or incorrect valve timing.

 If engine is stopped when hot and apparently won't restart - do you still have full compression then? If not, there might be a problem with stuck/untight valves.

Hope this gives a clue...

Cheers,
Alexander Engström

Hello,
Running Bsa wm20, the engine become very hot and if stopped, don't restart before to be almost cool. The engine clearance and set up seem to be tuned.
Any suggestion?
thanks
