With 50 being the absolute minimum for operation, I'll take 70psi for compression. I guess you missed the part about four different carbs and two fuel filters with no improvement to same problem across the board. The fuel pump has been active since rebuild. I had it on the motor I pulled out of Blue and transferred it to this one. It gave me no problems before. This motor ran like a Singer Sewing Machine when I pulled it.



I know you replaced carbs and fuel filters. I am trying to relate to issues I've had. Not enough fuel on two occasions has caused similar problems for me. You have already eliminated one by swapping out carbs. I would still try changing out the fuel pump. Like I said, when it went dry during the engine swap, that could have damaged it.

I don't see how it could dry out in two weeks.

What is the vacuum reading under load/driving? A restricted exhaust will cause vacuum to drop under load and result in lack of power. Valve timing issues due to worn gears or chain or sticking valves/weak springs will will cause fluctuation under load. When you say "hiccups" are you referring to actual backfires through the carb or exhaust or minor misfires?

It is a possibility. You said you are at a dead end and I'm throwing out ideas. It is worth a shot.

I'm going back in to gradually, to carefully check the valves. OH well, at this point I think I've got one sticking or not seating correctly. I am keenly aware of the difficulties trying to diagnose a problem over the net. I humbly thank you all for your efforts to help. I will let you know the outcome.

Scout,
After I rebuilt my engine I had a similiar issue caused by several things.  Hesitation under load and occasionally popping through the carb.  I did the same checks with the points and condensers, fuel pressure, rebuilt the carb, checked the valves...  To make a long story short, double check your timing.  When I was completing my rebuild I incorrectly timed my engine and all I needed to make my engine run great was advance the timing about 10°.

Just pulled the valve cover and fired it up. Half the tappets are not turning.

At this point you need to confirm that the engine is internally OK. You have changed everything external.

I had an XPAG chew up a cam due to the zinc being removed from the newly formulated motor oils.  It took a few years to figure it out. Do a Google search to check out solid tappets and zinc.



Best of Luck
Steve

I give up. Monday I am going to seek the advice of an older gentleman just down the road from me. He works on older flat head tractors a lot. I am at wits and expertises's end. If he can't help me with an easy fix. Blue may not appear at the show. I have begun the process of putting a new piston and all new rings in the red head motor that I removed from Blue. I will more than likely fix the leaking rear main seal while I am at it. Yeah a motor re-swap. No parts from Walck's yet. Cross your fingers.
