| Sounds like valve timing is off. You'll need to check the lift of the #1 intake 
valve at TDC to confirm, one way or another.

After having problems with the poor running of my BN4, I put an electronic 
ignition in the distributer (which was also overhauled) and rebuilt the carbs 
using a carb kit. However, I still can't seem to get any power. 
I am pretty certain that the timing is right (having checked it with a timing 
gun), all the electric connections (plugs, cables, etc.) seem to be sound and 
I cannot identify any specific problems with the carbs (ie leaks around the 
inlet manifold, etc.). 
So I think the trouble is with the setting of the carbs, but I have been up 
and down the adjustment nuts (rich to lean and back again) without any 
success. 
The symptoms are ... a smooth idle, smooth but very sluggish pick-up on 
acceleration accompanied by a loud machine-gun type rat-ta-tat-tat! 
Any ideas? 
Thanks
