Uh...what's fuel compression? Do you mean cylinder compression? Fuel restriction? <br /><br />More info would be helpful.<br /><br />Walt

Hey Mailman;<br />I responded to your previous post and may have somewhat mispoke as to fuel pressure.<br />If your cylinder compression is ok I would disconnect fuel feed to engine from fuel pump and make sure there is constant flow when turning engine over.<br />It is more helpful to you if you continue the original thread you start so that others may jump in and assist in your problem.<br />Good Luck
