Remove the air filter and have the throttle and choke wide open when you do the test. Leave the ignition off when doing the test. [Reply]   [No Email]

So engines can smoke and still have good compression. I suppose it had valve guide problems. [Reply]  [No Email]

From your upload dates, I take it is a recently completed project. It looks very nice. Just doing the restoration is task enough, but adding the photo documentation too is quite an accomplishment and is much appreciated. [Reply]  [No Email]

(:^D I finished it in November of 2002. I used it to cultivate pumpkins the summer of 2003. I put other pictures in the album at later dates. The second picture was taken after I had repainted it before taking it to a show. My tractors are stored in the big blue barn under the stars. [Reply]  [No Email]

In that engine if the guides were that bad it would be hard for the valves to hold an even 90 pound pressure. I would sooner think that it had over heated and the oil ring got seized to the piston to let oil get by. engines like these without water pumps used in factory mules would often over heat from not paying attention to water levels and start smoking. They would replace the rings without any other repair and put the mules back in operation. Really hard to tell if that would be the problem without being the operator from the start though.
