Well it didn’t start today. But compression bumped up from 65 to 70psi, which is a bit odd. As for sending it out to be bored. I’m in Canada so its not really economical to send across border to get it done. I’m sure there is a reputable machinist here that would be able to do, but honestly i don’t have the ambition to spend the funds on it. I’d like to think at 70psi i should get it to fart a bit, so I’m sort of wondering now if maybe because the points were the only part of the ignition i didn’t change that maybe my spark isn’t strong enough under compression. I’m considering going and buying a spark tester or just get the points, toss up as spend the cash on the tester and be useful forever and still maybe buy the points or just buy the points and maybe it doesn’t help at all lol.
Fired up my like HD-25 today though just so I could hear one of motors run. That little puppy purrs on 70psi of compression.
