[QUOTE="jasper60103, post: 425997, member: 1810"] Yea Boston, I have a few motors from that era, but only one runner at the moment. The others serve as reminders of bad decisions. :) Its always a gamble with old motors. From your description, sounds like this one may be too costly, IMO. I'm far from any sorta expert though. The fuel pump does not affect compression. If you heard air escaping, it could be coming from the compression tester adapter? There are youtube videos on compression testing. Make sure you ground your spark plug leads... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSmNMWTDtZE Good luck. jasper [/QUOTE]
