[QUOTE="bbstacker1, post: 248631, member: 7560"] First thing I would do is a compression test, once you've done that and assuming you have good compression, I would think it should be at least 100 psi and within 10% of each other. I would then check my fire, if none we then find out why and fix that, if there is good fire and it will not start, squirt a little premix into each cylinder and see if it will fire, if it does we now have to figure out why it is not getting gas to the cylinders. Been setting 3 years, almost without a doubt going to have to rebuild the carb. Should also replace the water pump impeller even if it seems to be pumping water good, that is cheap insurance.
