I tried sending this yesterday, but it didn't go.
Try connecting an air compressor the #2 spark plug with both intake an
exhaust valves closed. Listen at the carb inlet, tail pipe, oil filler
and see if any air is escaping. Also check the cap on the thermostat
housing, looking for bubbles. Finally, spray the joint between the head
and block with soapy water and see if any bubbles are blown.
Good luck.
Peace,
Pat
Thusly spake Eddie, On 8/16/2010 6:45 PM:
compression should be close to equal in all cylinders.
Clearly #2 has an issue. It could be rings, OR it could be a bad valve
too.
Perhaps a valve isn't seating properly. If you're lucky, it might be
just that.
