It was my grandfathers motor we used to use it all the time. He put it in shop to get it to stop shearing pins and got it out and never used it got sick and died. I got it when he died and it hasn’t ever ran since I got it. I had a several so called mechanics work on it and all they did was get it to crank and run in a barrel. And I’m some what knowledgeable about mechanics not good as you can tell on my next question. How do you test compression. The only way I know how to test spark is to take plug out and lay on block and pull rope and see if it sparks not sure if that’s the right way.
