Starting the inspection
To start, I just wanted to check out the motor. Bought a new ignition switch since the key was broke off in the old one. New coil, condenser and plug. Cleaned points. Ordered a cheap carb since the original was in pretty bad shape.
Hey, what do you know, it has good spark and turns over! Whoops, no compression. Decided to pull the head and see if it's rings or what. Hmm, exhaust valve stuck open, but cylinder looks good. Apply Kroil and tap valve closed. Turn over engine and repeat several times until it frees up. Works great now!
