Forum Members,
Thanks for the replies on tire ballast. I will keep the tires as they are.
Second and more troublesome problem, I checked the cylinders for compression today and found only two have reasonable pressure. Talked to a mechanic today and he said to check the valves. I removed the covers and found the front and rear valves are sticking in the open position. Are there any least invasive ways to release these valves? Any and all suggestions are welcome!
Last problem so far is the carb is completely stuck at all pivot points. I removed the needles and am letting it soak in ATF for the night.
I do have an extra MS TSX 33 but am not sure it that will be enough for the 8N's larger engine. Again, any and all suggestions are welcome.
