Subject:      83 Westy - Sick......Ill......or Dead?
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Driving home from the weekend campout, I had problems with my 83 aircooled
westy.  It was a warm day and it was running fine, I went to downshift going
up a hill and the bus jerked a couple times and then settled down running
again. (I figured I overrevved and the rotor cut out).  It happened again
about a half mile down the road and again after a stop sign which killed the
engine.  The engine turns over like it is almost going to start but doesnt
in the 5-10 seconds I alot it to start.  It doesnt sound like it is firing.
Late tonight or tomorrow night I'll have time to do exporatory
surgery....1st compression check........2nd check ignition systems.......
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.......I'm not looking forward
to the compression check as I know it will give no news or real bad
news.....
Thanks in advance,
Mike Noble
