I reread your post. Check that there is not sediment in the bottom of the carburetor bowl. After some driving, sediment that has settled can block a jet from being agitated. The same thing applies to the fuel intake inside the tank. A piece of electrical tape or something might be getting...

If you are still having the issue, try reversing the primary connections on the coil. If backwards, the coil will not provide enough spark to fire under compression even though you see a spark in open air. Because the coil is an autotransformer - they are hooked up the same regardless of whether...

When these motors blow head gaskets, it is usually between the paired cylinders because the head gasket is very skinny at that point. The compression readings reported are not consistent with a blown head gasket. One of these engines with a blown head gasket will have readings like 50 psi in...

I agree with OF. That is enough compression for the motor to start and run. The walss are probably dry from gas washdown from many attempts at starting, plus the rings get stuck. Once that motor sttarts and runs and you drive it some, the compression will be quite higher. I do not think that...

First, confirm the distributor timing since you spun it and it does not run. Let's be sure it is right. Take out the #1 plug and slowly spin the motor with your finger in the hole. When you start to feel compression, that hole is on the compression stroke. Now line up the timing marks. Now...
