Re: [Amc-list] 66 Ambo 232 compression problem

[Arnaldo Mademilia <turbofish53@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe pistonrings are fasten. To fix this problem mix in a bottle 1/5 brake fluid with gasoline and get the sparks out. And put a bit of this mix in each cylinder. Than rotate tha crank for a few times. Than put the sparks back. And try to start it.> Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2007 06:18:31 -0700> From: duanehacking@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [Amc-list] 66 Ambo 232 compression problem> > Well, I guess all good things must come to an end. My brother was over and I told him to hit the key a listen to how well the Ambo runs after sitting for 9 years. Oh oh!....crank no start.> Hmmmmm sounds real funny...like it's cranking real fast...kinda like when all the plugs are out and running a compression test. Hmmm maybe no compression. > Okay...here's the question...pulled all the plugs...did comp test an all cylinders exept # 1 ( a/c compressor in the way). Had 160 psi on 2 cylinders and 0 psi on 3 cylinders of the 5 I checked. Probably jumped time I thought as it norma
 lly happens when cranking not running I'm thinking. Valve cover leaks like crazy so I pull it just to make sure no broken camshaft and all rockers are moving.> What puzzles me is I would think if timing jumped all cylinders would be low or zero. > Thanx in advance for all who might respond, and all those on the site who often do so to the bennefit of all of us who read your remarks.> Duane> 66 Ambo 990 > 71 Javelin SST> -------------- next part --------------> An HTML attachment was scrubbed...> URL: http://www.amc-list.com/pipermail/amc-list/attachments/20070613/8aa3fc7d/attachment.htm > _______________________________________________> Amc-list mailing list> Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
