Hi!

My '85 Westy has been having problems starting, more lately. I had it
towed to the repair shop here in San Diego and I'm told it has about
40# compression in one cylinder and 70# in the opposite one. The other
two are much higher.

The spark plugs were in serious need of replacement and it will start
and run a bit better now.

I'm told it's $6000+ to get a good rebuilt put in.  If I keep driving
it the core charge goes up on a rebuilt.

In the future, that may be possible. Not right now.  The body and
interior are in nearly cherry condition and the rest of the mechanical
is VERY good.

I love my Westy and am not happy with the idea of parting with it.

Suggestions?

Scott
