Re: 1951 Johnson rd-11

Went and looked at the RD-11 today. Compression was an even 88 on both cylinders. Basically everything that was supposed to move was gummed up from non use. And there was no spark. The motor was covered in crusty salt looking deposits. It did shift correctly. But in the end due to lower compression, and the no spark, I passed. And I now know that I prefer the hinged motor cowl. The cowl on this 51 was a pain to remove. The search continues.
