Thanks Amnon
Before I do this, can I just check...
What is it about the procedure that will tell me I have vacuum leak (or
don't ) ?
Seems to me that using the rag + hand is effectively the same as using the
choke. I think I have missed the point of your suggestion.
I have just done a compression test. Cylinders 1,2 and 3 are ok, around 70
lbs. Cylinder 4 is 50 lbs.
Suggests a valve or piston ring problem in addition to any vacuum leak ?
Regards
Glenn
