Before I get kicked outta here for using up my allotment of stupid questions.
Here's the deal with this one: The T215 engine turns over pretty easily by turning the fan. The belt drives the crankshaft pulley. The distributor rotor also turns when I turn the fan. So I took out the number 1 plug and turned the fan. The piston don't go up or down. Hmm. So I take out the #2 plug, and same thing, everything turns well, but those two pistons don't budge. I'm thinking broken crank or something, then I remember that it's a flathead, and I ain't never messed with no flathead before.
So I wonder if I have a boat anchor here or if I'm just missing the boat.
Comments, suggestions and even insults welcome.
Thanks again,
vince
