Thanks. So absolutely no gas should be coming out on the vacuum side? (small hose connection) I can feel resistance when sucking on it, but gas drained out of the small opening when I removed it from block. The information helps. I would love to see if engine will run ok and has decent compression and check for coolant leaks (PO said absolutely there wern't any) Then I could sell it (for real cheap) to someone in need who's truly short of cash. I wouldn't want much for this engine. Neil.
