I am trying to get a 45 flathead that I believe was taken out of a Servi car (the numbers on the front cylinder included GE) running again. The gentleman I purchased it from said he had it running a few years ago and then just let it sit. I am very much a novice to all this, so any advice would be much appreciated.
So far I have cleaned out the gas tank, changed the oil, replaced the carb (Mukuni), and compression tested it. The compression test came out at 30psi per cylinder which I am told is low. My question is: Should I try to adjust the tappets and see if the compression changes or just try to turn it over and see what happens? Thank you to anyone that can help out.
