Bob, Ron,
Thank you. Helpful info. I'll get that valve cover off and see what I've got. It has to be compression. Air and fuel are good. Thanks for the electrical block diagrams. Very helpful.
Took the key switch out, ordering a new one. I wonder if the old thin oil allowed more heat to build up so it would start without the plugs?
checked the plug circuit with the volt meter. I'm getting no juice to the plug bus bar wire. No power downstream from the key switch on the plug circuit. Volt meter is grounded well, shows 12 volts off the battery. But….here's the curious part. When I got to the fuse box, there was no fuse where the input and output wires for the plug circuit went. The two 30 amp fuses are there, but that's not where the green # 39 (bus bar wire) and the green #12 (key switch wire) meet up. So, I put a 30 amp fuse in…and…nothing. Then I checked farther upstream and had no power downstream from the key switch anyway….
But, that means I've been starting without plugs for….who knows how long? So, I checked and theres fuel flow at the injectors, its turning over fast (jumped to my truck)….if it started before, why won't it start now???
Never mind. Found the compression release lever. Never used it before. I'll try that. Its frustrating that other than difficult to start, its been running great for years.
