The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Timing issues, Bosch magneto/ laurel cylinder head

I’m waiting on a spark tester to show up to verify the timing, but I think I will do a compression test as well to make sure we’re getting a decent vacuum. May be a little oil in the cylinders to help.
Carburetor throat is wet after cranking. But it is an updraft carburetor and would need a good vacuum to work properly.
