Hi all
I have a '52 comet and have been working on it for the last 6 or so months on and off, so still learning my way around it. It was a runner (for a short time anyway) when I bought it and have fixed many minor issues so it has not been out for a run for a while
It has now developed a problem in that when I crank the engine slowly there is full compression (and the valve lifter works as it should), but when I kick the engine over to start...there is none. I assume this is a valve 'sticking' but before I start to investigate I thought I would ask if anyone else has seen and fixed a similar problem.
Ideas and advice gratefully received
