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.
