[QUOTE="Whoopbass, post: 150686, member: 2243"] Pull both spark plugs when you do the compression test. It will make it easier to pull and you will get a higher reading. Spray some WD-40 in the cylinders and pull the rope 4-5 times. Your most likely going to have to buy another carburetor so keep an eye on ebay. To get it running right your probably going to have to replace the ignition system, fuel pump, fuel lines, and the carb. Add up the cost and see if its something worth doing. That motor isn't really valuable. It my area running its only worth around $200 tops but it could be worth double where your from. [/QUOTE]
