Default Re: What am I missing? 1930 Model A

Another way to check compression is to remove all spark plugs then operate the starter and with your thumb tightly pushing on the plug opening see if there is any air pushing your thumb off the plug hole. If there is then you have some compression. In NO air try pouring a few tablespoons of oil into each cylinder and try the test again. If there is still NO COMPRESSION than you probably have a valve problem. A better compression test would be using a compression gauge. Hope you find the problem as there is no better feeling than hearing a RUNNING Model A. Best of luck a DON’T give up.
