It does have a miss but its not consistent more like spark skip and it only does it sometimes. I did the test on #5 numerous times as I didn't think it was dead either but still nothing. I could do the comp. test again but I think I have my answer now. It is a Canadian built and ex-canadian military...

55 M37 hard starting

Hi everyone I'm just new here and found this site while trying to look up info for the M-37 I just bought. I'm having some troubles with it starting hard and was hoping to maybe get a few pointers on it. The guy I bought it from said he put a new carb on, I don't know if it was new to him or ? Basic...
