Also If you have no compression there will be no fire. Make sure that the intake to head seal is tight and your carb to intake seal is tight Also adjust your valves. Everything will just *crank* and that is it. you will smell gas of course and you could have back fire. That would also explain the explosion you had. And lastly check the wires off the body, you could have something crossed. Over all I think the compression is the problem. --- Wuzmop@aol.com wrote: > It could be the plug wires.
