Have been trying to get my 40 model B cranked after sitting in the barn for 30 years. The engine was stuck, although not bad. A couple of shots of PB Blaster down the plug holes & it broke loose with the hand crank. I have changed the oil & filter, replaced the points, rotor, Dist. cap, coil cover cap, condenser, & put on new wires & plugs. Also had the carb. rebuilt. when she's turning over, I get a little white smoke from the exhaust. It's firing, but the spark seems awful weak to me. You can barely see the spark when a plug is grounded. Is it possible that the magneto is weak & needs rebuilt? Or am I just flat over looking something here? What should the compression be? I'm thinking maybe the rings are stuck & it doesn't have enough compression to start. I plan on rebuilding the engine, but I kinda wanted to hear it run. Any help you experts may offer will be greatly appreciated....Thanks in advance....stumped in Texas
