I just checked the compression on the 18v motor in the '67, below are the
results
#1 - 125
#2 - 120
#3 - 125
#4 - 100
I know that low reading on #4 points to trouble, valves or rings,
right? Should I keep trying to start it? What are my next steps?
As for other things, the plus are a grimy black, but not bad terribly so,
of course I don't know how much they were run.
Also, my oil pressure only gets up to about 20 pounds when turning it
over. I thought that I remember my Sprite getting better pressure than
that when I spun the engine w/o plugs in.
I can hear that the fuel pump is continually running when the ignition is
on. I checked the fuel lines and gas is getting through to the carbs. I
thought that the fuel pump was supposed to stop running when the pressure
reached a certain point.
Other things, the lights work, the wipers work, and the horns makes a noise
that sounds like they are stuck.
Thanks
Patton
