  • 2nd engine failure this year

    Lost a cylinder in my '92 auto last Jan. Drove it as backup until I sold it to Shorestiva in Aug. Today my DD '89 crapped out on a local courier run. Barely made it home. 175 PSI on one cylinder, the rest are low. Won't start. Will have to use daughter's BMW until Jan '13 when repaired '93 is eligible for historic tags. Looking at CL '88 motor for $100.

      That was the case with the last one. This one had been missing on acceleration last week or so. I bought a carb rebuild kit with the intention of replacing accelerator pump diaphram weather permitting. But yesterday it was missing a little on the flat and level. Planned to throw some ign parts at it when I got home but lost one cylinder and part of 2 more all on one trip!
