My Midget 1500 was missing badly the last time I drove it and I finally got
around to beginning the investigation. Pulled the plugs. Plugs 1, 2, and 3
were nice dry brown, like they are supposed to be. Plug 4 was black, sooty,
and
oily.
Compression test revealed the following figures, from front to rear:
Dry: 100, 122, 106, 108
Wet: 112, 125, 133, 110
The compression test was done with all the plugs removed.
Kind of wierd readings. What does this suggest to anyone? Ed? Not sure why
#2 would be so high. Looks like the rings are shot in #3. Anything else?
Thanks!
