I checked compression this morning. The heavy coat of blue Loctite wasn’t cured yet,
but I tried it anyway.
After three pulls through compression, I had 45 psi compression. Gave it three more
for fun, and it read 48 psi.
Not sure if my pipe thread adapter was leaking or not, as I only had it screwed in
hand tight. I know the it “oozes” fuel around the spark plug threads a little, even when
wrench tightened.

No idea what it had for compression in the second decade of the 20th century, but
it is what it is, at least for now.

Tried starting it again with about the same results……. it want’s to run, but can’t
stay running long. 🙁

Prepare to be boarded!
