Default Re: 99 ds. Fe290 no start

Ive had 2 carbs on it and both have been disassembled and cleaned as i was checking for water and dirt contamination on both.one original and one new chinese carb. It will run on both perfectly sometimes. But They both act exactly the same with this problem. Sometimes it will start and run perfectly and othe times it will just crank. I no longer feel this is a fuel delivery problem. 2 different carbs, fuel pumps, new lines and filters. Always the same problem. A shot of ether will wake it up when its having an episode. Im leaning towards a valve problem or maybe a weird head gasket problem. 175psi compression when tested. I will do leakdown qhen i get a chance. This is very strange.
