Thinking about it, why not just fire up the hard starting engine then, using a small container of fuel and an acid brush or similar, lightly wet each fitting on the fuel lines from your Racors forward to the last fitting you can get to on the engine. Watch for *suction*. Sort of the opposite of a pressure bubble test for leaks. I don't know if this would work, but it might. Or, talk to someone who, unlike me, knows what he is talking about. :-) It seems logical though that if that engine is otherwise running fine, you are getting your RPMs and you are not producing smoke more than the other engine, that a compression problem due to rings or valves is not likely.
