[QUOTE="joefur, post: 392429, member: 18179"] jb I'm with you on all that. Compression checked out at about 90 and 100, I guess that's 10% depending on how you interpret "within 10%". The gauge wasnt the best so it was difficult to get exact numbers but at least it wasnt 40 and 130. Compression was the first thing I checked and I was pretty nervous about turning it over before I inspected everything. Its a catch 22, dont want to work on it if its garbage but dont want to damage it if its not. Next on the to-do is decabing, I'm not sure if that will bump the compression but it cant hurt. I drained the oil out of the bottom and it came out clean less some goop leftover from before so I feel good about that. I would like to install a seal kit but I'm scared to death of opening it up, I may try to farm that out. Great tip on plug wires, I did a rough budget of electrical/carb/pump/impeller/fuel parts - all the usual suspects and its really not that expensive to replace it all, less than $250. I'm all about if it aint broke dont fix it but this isnt the time for that. I got my manual off ebay this week for $20, cant stress enough how helpful it is. I’m going to re-wire everything. Right now everything is functional so I’m planning to remove one wire at a time, terminate everything and make sure it still works. Then I’ll pull it all off when I get ready to paint. There is a lot more wires in there than you’d think and that wiring diagram will make you dizzy. Probably 6 different colors and 3 or 4 sizes. Budget for wiring is about $150 which includes a new solenoid. [/QUOTE]
