Reply To: Elto Cub Compression

[Terrel Beckham]

I replaced the piston rings today.  Compression now reads 50 psi.  That’s 100% improvement over what I had but still may not be enough to get this engine to run.   The rest of the internal parts looked good.  I’ll next tackle the ignition system.  Any suggestions where I might find points, coil and condenser?   As an optimist, I’m also looking for the correct gasoline/oil mix ratio.  Also, any recommendations on foot grease?   I’ve got the OMC HI VIS lube which works on almost everything else.

Thanks for the advice.  I’m determined to get this little kicker running again.  It belonged to my late uncle, but has been stored in the attic the last 50 years.
