Carburetion & Compression on 1927 Super Six

Unknown

My husband just recently purchased a 1927 Hudson Super Six Coach (VIN# 783,529).

It had been garaged for the last 20 yrs. with minimal maintenance performed during

that time. We trailered it home and his first challenge was to "unstick" the cork

clutch. That done he found a hole into the water jacket in the cylinder head. Had that

repaired and now he (& his son) are working on the carburetor. Purchased a rebuild kit

from the Carburetor Shop and he needs information on the float level for the "Marvel"

carburetor. Also, what is the correct compression on the cylinders? And, finally, the engine

runs rough but seems to smooth out when you hold down the flusher plunger & cap

assembly ("tickler"?).

Any tips, ideas or thoughts?
