After running fine for five hours, my 2002 F25 missed for a few seconds at half throttle, quit running when I slowed down to investigate, and would not re-start.
Compression was an even 140psi prior to the issue, it is now an even 90psi on both cylinders.
I've verified good spark, fuel, and proper oil level. The carburetor is new. The timing belt is also new. I will check alignment marks later to make sure timing didn't jump but don't suspect that. I replaced the belt because the old one deflected beyond 13mm indicating that it was worn out.
Can somebody please explain the compression release function utilized during starting and tell me whether or not this may be the culprit?
Aloha
