    1972 40hp chrysler wont start

    Re: 1972 40hp chrysler wont start The "old" way was hold the plug against the block and have someone turn it over. I use spark testers when I'm checking. The comp sounds a bit low. 145-155 is more like it. Maybe a different gauge? You pulling both plugs as you turn it over? How many times do...
