Ok. I went up and checked into it. The good news is i checked the compression. 128,128,123,122

I realized the trigger plate was siezed.. the connecting linkage came off as i investigated. I put some pliers on the exposed part and started working it. I must have moved it 2000-4000 times and hit it with pB blaster. Its not usable yet but its a lot better.. i advanced the plate just a bit and the idle cleaned right up. So thats the good news.

I pulled the cooling water supply hose ans poured some water down it and blew it to pressurize it a bit.. water started coming out under the engine. The exhaust adapter plate is likely frost damaged. Uggh. Ill have to pull the engine and inspect.
Water also came out under the bubbleback… not good.
