[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 151161, member: 1417"] The motor is out of intensive care and has been upgraded to living. My brother came down and we did a compression check this morning. The top cylinder is 120# and the lower is 110#. I oiled the cylinders through the spark plug hole and we used jumpers to turn the starter. It turned over freely and a shot of fuel down the throat and it fired and ran for a second or two. It's still a mess but now I know it's worth the time to clean up and fix up. I guess the carb is the next project. I don't know whether to rebuild or replace. I also need to get a manual before I take too much apart.[center][/center] I got two pressure tanks with the motor but no hose so I have to find that also. What is the best way to clean out the tanks? [/QUOTE]
