    Fifty20One, Thanks for the video link.
    Looks like my 39 Sea King 2.4 hp was
    one "tweaked" by Carl as mine has the
    so named "tickler" on the carb to lift the
    poppet valve off the seat.
    The Thor compared in the video must be ealier
    than the 39 Sea King shown, as there lots of
    differences in the exhaust to cylinder mounting,
    water pump, etc.
    Regarding the Thor, is a "five piece" crankshaft
    welded together? Are normal crankshafts
    really a one piece forging? Guess I need to pay
    more attention!

    I got the cylinder back on mine today, and now
    that it actually has piston rings, it has compression!
    Not sure how much yet as I thought I better let
    my gasket cement cure a day.

    Anyone know what the correct 18 mm spark plug for these models?
    Thanks!
