I have one complete dizzy with Pertronix $75.00 plus the ride from 98230

Got a message after work from my mechanic.  He says I have one cylinder that is running 30 psi less than the other 7.  He hasn't gone any deeper yet but I'm thinking that that distributor may have to wait.   If this is going to turn expensive I'm just going to put together the other boat.   This boat stuff is getting incredibly depressing.   

That is a very kind offer and I will keep the dizzy in mind.  It is just that I now have a complete motor to install in the other boat.  Once the motor is out the soft floor will have to be addressed.  I'm sure that will snowball into something more than I know now.  If I am going to have to pull a head (or more) to fix the Spectra it probably isn't worth the time investment since I am so deep already into getting the Wriedt back out on the water. 
I really want to like the Spectra but what started out as a good deal moneywise, that would need very little to take out on the lake and use for a season or two while I built a big motor for the Wriedt, has turned out to be very expensive.  I am in nearly $4000 and I have made one lap around Lake Perris so far in nearly 3 years.        

The one cylinder that is down 30 psi could just be something stick in the valve seat. Take off the valve cover and whack the intake and the exhaust valves a couple times with a mallet or dead blow. If that don't work try spinning the valve and see if that helps before you go tearing anything apart.

good advice Marc had that same thing on a truck motor years ago did just that and it fixed the problem   

just pm me the addy where to send it to Ill ship tomorrow aft. my previous offer still stands but its up to you my paypal is gordandmarylou@shaw.ca
