    Shane,

    I had one of those motors for a long time. Good runner if the points and fuel were clean. I am going to bet that your issue is compression. Just too low.

    Any ideas on where to start to see why I have such low compression? As stated earlier I replaced rings (mainly because I broke them during removal, compression before hand was unknown.) Cylinder walls and piston "look good". No scoring or anything that stands out. Crank seal? I replaced head gasket and exhaust gasket while I did the rings btw. Hate to toss this old girl out, would love to get her running for a great trolling motor.
