Checked the motor out a little. Compression is less than 20 lbs. Major Bummer. I also cleaned the carb and "sorta" checked the spark. The carb would have probably been fine without the cleaning and I will get my spark tester on it in a bit to see if the spark is actually adequate in a bit. Now to find the part number on the gasket. I didn’t see any reason for the compression problems as the gasket looked to be intact. There was a little white fouling in the water jacket and on the gasket that I assume is salt. I scraped as much of that out as I could but nothing was really blocked before I started. Inside of the cylinders looks good. No scratches or scoring. Very smooth and uniform. Hoping a gasket is the issue. The head has been off before. Makes me wonder…
