[QUOTE="Bostonstarcraft, post: 425985, member: 21885"] Thanks Jasper, I see you have familiarity with that motor. How have those been for you? Not much experience on my end so it's hard for me to figure at which point I'm throwing good money after bad. I know it will need a new starter assembly since it's corroded and not really popping up with consistency. Wires were also chewed a bit likely by a mouse and the housing had acorns in it. Dumb question here but is there any trick to a successful compression test? First try, the fuel pump was not attached and I heard air escaping.. So that went back on but had no fuel hose attached - would that matter with pressure? Thanks for taking the time. [/QUOTE]
