I don't know about the coolant, I'll check it today(if i go work on it)
But he told me he did a compression test and it was within the usable range.

Last time we pulled the plugs they where just a little carboned up...well 2/4 where.
Front plugs look good..

He wants to pull the coils and check them...
Said the manual say you can do it with an ohm meter?

I'm mostly going by what he says.

If you look at the plug, you'll be able to tell if it's firing or not. If it is, the coil should be good. If it's not, you've narrowed it down to no spark, and then all you have to do is find the cause.

For me I'm looking at the fact that it ran until you "buttoned it up"... I keep thinking about a loose wire or pinched vacuum line... I must have multiple carbs that feed the different cylinders right? If one carb is messed up, only those cylinders would be affected.
