Gerald, It's HIGHLY unlikely because I'm having my own challenges getting my
bus ready for TP, but I might be able to loan you one Monday if this weekend
goes as planned. Hopefully you can get one from someone else though 'cause
everything for me is up in the air right now.

Wouldn't happen to have a known good single port carb I could borrow a
ew days to verify that would you? If a known good carb solves the
roblem I'll order a replacement Monday and return yours at T@P. I'll
ay for USPS express shipping so it can be here Saturday if it's mailed
ut Friday.
I went ahead and replaced the points with a new set that has weld
onded full face contacts as opposed to the previous set that had one
ontact with a hole all the way through the center as a rivet point.
My hands are cramping up now so the guy that helps me turn wrenches is
oing to come over in the morning so we can close it all back up. While
e have the plugs out I'm going to verify the TDC mark using a pencil
n #1 cylinder and recheck the valve lash on #2 to make sure I don't
ave the exhaust opening to early.

Should not be causing your problem.

Cold compression
1 -- 150
2 -- 130 (something going on here)
3 -- 155
4 -- 150
all the push rods are in the sockets. Rockers move in and out fine.
Points have a little pitting but not horrible.
