    I checked the compression on the Firestone 10 hp this morning.
    71 & 73 psi. Not sure what “new” was, but it would be a runner for sure.
    Popped the flywheel off, and while the Wico coils are cracked all up,
    the did fire the engine on fogging oil.
    Pounded some dents out of the cowlings, put it all back together,
    hung a tag on it with my findings, and back on the rack for now!

    I haven’t had much trouble lately attaching photos from my harddrive.
    Here’s one from yesterday for a test. of the Oliver, now awaiting
    on the boat for a ride….. but it’s getting too windy… maybe tomorrow.
    The Oliver “green” almost matches the color of my rusty old Cheverolet truck!

    UPDATE: the photo posted, but the flipping thing went sideways, lol
