[QUOTE="HanSolo, post: 58360, member: 7905"] Okay. We got the engine to turn over using the rebuilt starter. Turns out the battery I was using wasn't very good and we jumped the machine with my buddy's Jetta. We did a series of starts without the plugs in a liberal use of WD40 in the cylinders. We then gauged compression 60-30-30-25. We suspect the cylinder with the high compression has more deposits. Although the electric fuel pump that came with it seemed to be trying - no output. So this morning I got up and purchased a new FP, FPR, fittings and fresh battery (low profile to clear the cab). I replaced the fuel lines from the belly pan level to carburetor, put the FP, FPR in-line, put the plugs back in and started the engine. It seems to want to fire but it's not getting enough spark. We looked at that last night and the spark is really weak. I'm going to get a fresh coil, points, condenser, rotor and cap. Those parts, coupled with the plugs and plug wires I've already got, will completely overhaul the ignition system. I'll have to check the point gap, timing, etc. so I guess it's time to relearn the timing light! [/QUOTE]
