Re: No Compression

Thanks all, will start with taking the side covers off, I am sure they will be clean in the galley side, as I change the oil approximately every 4 to 500 miles. So will start there and can pull the head next. Before I pull the head will start with the diesel oil soak, it won't hurt and may make freeing up valves a bit easier? I have all the tools and spring compressors needed to do a valve job if needed. But, I did a valve job around ten years and a couple thousand miles ago, so not anticipating needing complete job again?
Another question, in the past always got a carburetor rebuild kit and did my own carburetors. May do again, or send out? When I do mine I leave the float the same. Change the needle and seat but careful not to bent the floats. If I should need to set the float level for the Stromberg AAV 26 how do you do that? I have an extra light 6 volt electric pump with hoses and adapters to connect to most carburetors so I should be able to pump gas into the carb and see where it stops, but then on the Stromberg as I remember when you take the top off of the carburetor the floats come off also?
Who is selling the best carburetor kit right now?
Thanks mucho!!
