ok, i will do a compression test tomorrow. what should a flatbed compression bed? (i've never touched a flathead before), also the exhaust has a large hole in it...and if the seat were left up water could have gone right in through the hole.

the engine runs fine at low rpm but dies if you go over....30% throttle?

also i noticed on watery condensation looking stuff in the radiator filler neck.

i just want to get this thing running good for my use. the hydraulics are strong, brakes....could use some work but, the hydraulics are strong.
