Ok, that  sounds more like a stuck float valve on the front  carb.



Can a float valve stick closed?  Usually I have them stick open and  flood 
the Carb.  At first I thought the Six was not getting fuel since the  throats 
of 
the carbs were dry, neither were flooding.  Gas is present  from the pump at 
the carbs. Ran a little better with the choke out.  I  did a compression test: 
 1--170  2--160  3--155   4--155  5--165  6--175
Seems a little high and all over the place but at least they are not  low.  I 
parked the 250 after VTR because I was getting 120's across  the board. The 
fleet of healthy TR's is getting thinned out here. Yikes!
Thanks,
Darrell
