Re: gas marathon no reverse
Compression is around 120 PSI. Much below 90 and it's time to think about a rebuild. Since it has a carb it should have enough fuel in the carb fuel bowl to start it. Are you sure it has a nice blue spark? The HEI upgrade and a TFI coil worked wonders on mine.

Re: gas marathon no reverse
Thank you for the compression will check it tomorrow . The spark seemed nice in blue but will use a spark tester tomorrow.
