A poorly seating valve might explain the very low compression on the one cylinder, if that hapens to be one of the inlet ones it would certainly explain the fuel spiting back through the carb.
That is the exact same syptoms that I was having with my pinto engined Transit .... Never did get that running spot on & as it was sold today, I no longer have to keep chasing the problem   I hope you get it sorted OK Ray Do you know what .... I never even give the coil on the Transit a thought .... I ought to know better than that !!

Have you checked that you dont have a worn cam lobe on the low cylinder. pintos have a habbit of eating cams.
following that check the cam position at tdc cyl1 it could be a tooth out check you have the correct timing belt there are two different belts with different numbers of teeth. check the valve clearances.

inlet valve on number 2 edge slightly damaged flat spot on one side, would this be enough to cause this trouble. Next thing best source for new ones can only seem to find burton's do i replace them all while the head is off. Also thinking of putting a fast road cam any thoughts. It was looking like they were all ok this one was the last one out

Hi Tricky
My local motor factor had no problem finding a couple of exhaust valves for my Pinto engined Transit  £8'ish each if memory serves me right Personaly I would inspect each valve & judge it on its own merits. Once you take the plunge & buy a whole set of valves, you may then find out that the guides need replacing, while you are at it you may just as well have hardened exhaust valve seats ( If your not lucky enough to have an unleaded head ) Before you know it, a load of money will be spent  Mind you, If you are going the fast road cam route, a full re-work of the head might not be such a bad thing
