I have zero compression on all cylinders. The valves and pistons are both moving. I can get it to backfire. I thought maybe it jumped time, but found out it has a chain. Any suggestions?

Hi there,

You will need to do an air pressure test to determine where the comp is going, start here.

Thank you for knocking the rust out from under my belt and steering my head in the right direction.
