I hope that isn’t rust on those pistons…or it might just be a really bad glaze on the cylinders/pistons. Either way, I’d be hitting that with 2-stroke oil generously and hand-turning the flywheel SLOWLY before trying to do anything in terms of compression testing. They shouldn’t be that color. Looks like a badly shorted out coil that melted down too….
