CajunCook1, great write up and thanks for all the info! I checked compression prior to purchase. I don’t remember exactly what the numbers were because I wasn’t sure what it should be so I just wanted to make sure they were close to even. I want to say with 4 pulls each cylinder it was around 110 on both. They were pretty darn close to being perfectly even to my surprise. I also checked spark with tester while I was there. I usually go between 1/4 and 1/2 inch somewhere and it had good spark. Not amazing but did get a good snap and blue spark. After I got home I pulled flywheel with puller just to see what everything looked like and the condensers and points appear to be new. The coils look older but good. Everything was gapped good so I just cleaned the points up a bit and put it back together. I did notice this plug wires had been replaced with what look like automotive wires so I guess I’ll have to change them back to originals. I mixed the gas a bit thicker than 24 to 1 because I had read it should be 16 to 1 and 24 to 1 so I wasn’t sure which to go with.
