    Haven't tried that exact test, but both plugs are definitely getting spark and they look like they should, not overly rich or lean. if you listen to the video, you can tell it isn't missing either.

    Ok, previous carb problems (most likely) worked out. New issues/questions: DISCLAIMER: I'm an electrician, not a motor guy. I replaced water pump and lower seal, thinking water and oil coming out of those holes together was bad. Took a look at electrical system, there was a pinched wired on...

    1984 Sea King Chrysler

There are people who use it!!! We are grateful! I recently bought this motor and the previous owner told me that he could...
