Cylinder walls were deglazed and the grooves in pistons were all cleaned before new rings installed. The guy at the machine shop said the valves all looked good and there were no cracks so he only replaced the guides??? [Reply]   [No Email]

Does it develop vacuum? Pull the hose off the carb inlet and put your hand over it while cranking. You should feel it suck. [Reply]  [No Email]

You should both feel a good suction there and also when you remove your hand it should be covered with gas. If you do not have both then your compression is to low as in no suction or if no gas your carb is clogged some place. Note if you do that it also might try to start. If low suction put say a table spoon of ATF/gas mix in each cylinder and try to start it. The ATF/gas mix 50/50 will up compression and also burn like gas and may end your problems [Reply]  [No Email]

I would bet valve timing or clearance if you are hearing noises in exhaust. Check the clearances again. [Reply]  [No Email]
