I have spark. I don't know about the fuel pressure and compression check, I don't have a compression and fuel pressure gage. The Carb is rebuilt and I have taken it back once about a screw that was loose under the Carb seat. And about the fuse, when it out the engine runs, everything works, but when a fuse is in the engine dies and the car is hard to start and cut off quickly when you start driving it. However, I still get that power drain after a while and you need to recharge the battery.

if the alternator is pulling down the voltage to the ignition system, it will do this. disconnect the fat wire and the little wire. make sure the big wire is insulated and does not touch anything metal

Which fat wire? which little wire? Are you talking about the 2 alternator wires? 1 wire is a plug with many wires to the plug and a small wire.
