Been trying to get the motor in shape. Got a missing problem. This is what I know about the engine:<br /><br />1) Compression is 125-130 on each cylinder. They are clean & scratch free.<br />2) Bottom plug is wet. Top plug is dry. Plugs are new.<br />3) Has a new head gasket & ex. gasket. Both are showing no signs of leakage.<br />4) Lots of water running through the engine. T-stat is ok. Its not overheating.<br />5) Rebuilt the carb. New needle valve gaskets etc. <br />6) Not sure about the needle valve on the carb. This could be out of whack.<br />7) Fuel lines, vacum lines have been replaced. <br />8) Gas is about 90 days old but has stabilizer.<br />9) Motor starts up within 2-3 pulls.<br /><br />My next step is to change the points and condenser, adjusting the timing and change the flywheel key as my bet is they have not been changed in a long time. Am I on the right track?<br /><br />If yall can give me some ideas, or your opinions, it would be apprecated...Bruce
