Looks like you bought someone's problem. The first thing you want to do since it overheated and jumped time is to do a compression check. Make sure the battery is fully charged, the distributor electrical connector is unplugged, and the throttle is wide open when you check your compression. Write down your numbers and let us know what you get.





Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
