I checked a few things out yesterday, but the power went out
during the storm, and even with the big door open during
the day, I had to use my little flashlight to do much of anything.
I confirmed great fuel flow to the carb bowl
Compression 90 and 99 psi……… not sure if that’s good for a Martin 45 or not?
Pulled the flywheel for anything abby normal……. looked great, and
nice blue spark at both plugs.
No sign of water droplets on the plugs or in the cylinders after running it for twenty seconds
(started on third pull, died and would not restart)
Readjusted the carb to mag sync slightly.
Installed shorter spark plugs, as the top J-8’s terminal comes 1/4″ away from ground.
Didn’t get to retest yesterday….. rain, rain, blowing hard.
P.S. – this website is giving me fits, trying to decide if I’m really logged in!
