Do you have a strong suction at the carb when crankin?? If your compression is insufficient...you won't get the gas up to the engine... Post back with that info for more useful answers....

Put some MMO in the spark plug holes and pull the valve covers to see if the valves are stuck...(wouldn't hurt to put some MMO on them as well)... Do the MMO for a few days and turn the engine over by hand to help work the stuck parts loose You could probably pull start it as well....pullin it would give ya an unbelievable amount of compression which would be enough to getcha runnin'..... If it were me...I'd do the MMO for a few days to see if it'll free up on its own...If not...a rebuild could be in order.... Tommy   [Reply]   [Send Email]

Try a wet test, a tablespoon of oil in the sparkplug hole then do the compression test again, make sure all plugs are removed, throttle and choke wide open, air cleaner not restricted ( I'ld even remove the air cleaner to carb hose ). Battery well charged, crankover atleast five turns each hole. Watch how the pressure comes up, even rise each stroke or big initial gain with little gain on subsequent strokes. Then put her all back together, get a trusty friend to try pull starting, will give higher RPMs and compression for start, than the starter can give. If she sat for a couple of years, it is possible the valves and rings are a little stuck, therefore low compression. Some runtime and it may very well free up. LOL ATW/WA   [Reply]   [Send Email]
