Re: Too weird: now compression tester stuck?

["Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The car ran great to a car event in July 2010. Started it up and headed home and made it about 3 miles before the engine crapped out and I had to get the car towed home. Hasn't run since (8 months). I put a new timing chain set on it and still no start. Acts the same way as with the old chain set: ignition noise evidence of spark and an occasional pop through carb.

Thanks,
Gary H.
