Re: 1941 One Eighty - curious engine problem

True, the engine does not clatter or there is a lot of valve noise when starting, which puzzles me as to the oil pressure problem theory, but about gas, we cleaned carb, installed a new pump kit, added an electric pump and cleaned and coated the gas tank, so I think the problem is not really gas. Besides, why would gas give those symptoms? Starts missing a lot, and you can barely maintain it running, and gradually starts to improve, but it takes at least about 4 minutes to start to work smoothly. Really puzzles me. We will be checking on everything again today, including spark plugs, but I really think there is something else behind the problem. I will post my findings.

Thanks!
