I have a 1976 1209He chrysler
The compression is as follows
cylinder 1 150 cylinder 2 150 cylinder 3 150 cylinder 4 185 wow, plus the bottom carb is sucking and blowing out air /fuel, plus the fuel pump works fine at idle put loses it prime at 1500 rpm, would a bad reed cause the # 4 cylinder high compression and the fuel blowing out of the bottom casrb, FYI it has 2 not 4.

Re: compression issue

Sounds like #4 is wet with oil/unburned fuel. A broken reed can cause that.
