    I towed a 3200 pound trailer with 1 axle & no brakes. For one faster stop. Took the trailer back for a REAL SAFE trailer. Luck is important on crappy trailer setups. Been there.

    Quick check of EACH cylinder pressure.1 at a time. Put ONLY 1 plug in any cylinder. And pull to feel the amount of resistance. Remove THAT SAME sparkplug and put it in the other cylinder and do the pull. Are they different efforts ?

    1980 100hp vs 1986 110hp ignition coils

    I really like the fairly close compression readings. It shows aging. Have to find the electrical parts needed to get it running O K again. You can change those ignition parts. Change ALL the coils of all the cylinders at the same time. Should perk right up.

    Axles are out of ALINGMENT. Your tires are being SCRUBBED a little sideways all the time. You really need a alignment of the trailer axles.
