Subject: [MV] M-1-4 question
>Our M-1-4 is not running well. Engine was rebuilt, has good compression on

>Problem is it runs OK at idle but has no power. Can't pull itself up a
>hill. Disconnecting cylinders 1 and 6 has almost no change to RPM at idle
>but disconnecting 3 or 4 almost kills the engine. There is spark at the
>plugs on 1 and 6 when disconnected.

>Truck was modified to downdraft carb before we owned and we haven't
>converted it back yet.
>
>Distributor was in the truck when we got it (ex CA Hwy dept). Has no
vacuum
>advance. Plug wires are all new, made as part of wiring kit we got. Solid
>core wires. Coil is new.
