Well it is a bit of an ugly ducking but an awesome motor for me. I use it and have used it for fishing in Ohio for the last three years and she runs like a champ. I will one day restore it but for now it is my go to when i fish, Thank you for the input and suggestion will probably tear it down as i have in the past to understand the depth of the damage if any. Ideally on a motor of this age what should the compression be? Also if the is some scoring can it be corrected thru honing the cylinder walls? Is there a tolerance fro the bore and piston on this motor? thank you for the help
