Got it 2012 a 1973 3-cyl gas, it ran well and due to health issues let it sit. I did start it 2013 then could not get it to start due to crap ethanol gas that screwed the carb.
I went through the carb and all new ignition parts. Turned it over 2014 and 2015 but no start.
Problem seems lack of compression. #1 is O.K. #2 and #3 are low, about 75 psi. I put some ATF and oil in and turned it,then cleared things, it popped but flooded out. Checked compression-low then put some diesel and ATF in and turned it slow and sit a bit. #2 and #3 are still low.
Any suggestions on a snake oil that might free things up? #1 seems to fire then 2 and 3 are fouling. I'm hoping not to have to break it down.
