Slant 6- Idle and Running
Thank you to those sticking around and offering help!!
I cleaned out a rebuilt the carb... no change. :( Two things I found on my journey... one is that the fuel line going into the carb is slightly kinked, I can't see this being my problem as I can still rev to my hearts content and it gets fuel. Two, i'll show the picture of what a previous owner did to the check ball in the economizerr body. Again though, I'm not sure this is my issue, the check ball itself seems find and moves fine. This is mikes carb explaining the part that looks mangled: . Check the photo economizer to see what mind looks like.
So onto compression:
Dry they are 1-115psi, 2-118psi, 3-125psi, 4-125psi, 5-123psi, 6-115psi. My spark plug tube seals are all messed up and need replacing.
So onto timing and my actual questions for you all:
Answered my first question, crank moves twice compared to the cam. The timing still wanders 360 degrees with the engine on, why would it do that? I could show a video but it's not all that clear with the shutter speed of the camera, you can imagine a timing mark making its merrily way around though, appearing to rotate counter clockwise.
Next picture is of the rotor at cylinder 1 TDC, and spark plugs were wired correctly, with 153624 firing order. Does the rotor look correct to everyone else, it looks good to me but could someone verify? :(
What do I try next?
