Hey everyone, dunniteowl here again and I have gotten the "A" model I have straightened out as far as the cylinder head and torqueing goes. I am getting spark, fuel, air and compression, though I wonder if my compression levels are high enough to combust.

Cyl 2: 60 pounds
Cyl 3: 61 pounds
Cyl 4: 71 pounds do these numbers sound about right to anyone or no-one at all? I have a maintenance manual (bought online through your suggestions) and it doesn't have any compression specs in it that I could find. Thanks all for any information and assistance you can provide... dunniteowl
