Hey Dave...yea.. not what i was hoping for...but, doubt there is much damage... I will leak down, also, check carb, to make sure i didnt suck up something, after all the fuel system work... i did flush it, but you never know. Would be great if its just in the fuel system... but i'm doubting that ... will know more soon as i check compression...i have to get leak down guage from my buddy, but i do have a real nice compression guage, and it should point to a problem, if its big enough.... oil pressure is good, no leaks in the engine, and it fires right up, but you can tell it has lost a cyiinder or its running so lean, that its missing... will keep you posted!
