My next test was to check the cylinder compression ..perhaps I'd blown a head gasket? (In all 6 cylinders simultaneously?).. Yes, I'm clearly grasping at straws at this point. As you might have guess

Taking the fuel line off is only a partial diagnostic for fuel. The best is to take the float chamber lids off and check if full of fuel - the float jets get clogged more often than you think - esp.

Yes, that is why it is important to really check the carbs thoroughly. When I took the carbs apart, the fuel chambers were full of fuel; but I rebuilt the carbs anyway. I was suspicious that perhaps

Yes, indeed. But on a Healey, the first thing to suspect is spark. (Since, complete failure is most like a single point cause, and ignition (spark) issues can usually be pointed to failure of a singl

If I remember right, we were taught to check fuel at the delivery end first......if there is plenty of fuel getting to the carb(s), then you have eliminated the potential problems between source (tan

That makes sense...normally. But Healeys are special cars...we can hear the fuel pump..:-). Since I could hear the fuel pump running until pressure was built up in the lines, the "checking for fuel"

I always taught my students that compression is a subset of air. Anyway assuming you are not deaf and paying attention, you verify compression every time you hit the key to start the car. An engine w
