So I still haven’t been able to get this thing running past the one time it fired up and had water spraying all over the place out of the bucket it was in and one other time it sputtered a bit.

The compression is 80-85.  Is this low for a ’39 one cylinder?  I bought a new spark plug boot and will install that tomorrow but just wondering what else I should look at?

I have spark, assuming it stays once I install the plug – I have 80-85 psi compression – and I’m putting some fuel mix in the cylinder.

What am I missing? Fuel, spark, compression – I should be touring around the lake………..
