I guess this is the summer of non-working equipment for me. My saws are very happy thanks to you lot, but I picked up a Kawasaki G4TR (1973) at the beginning of the summer that's been sitting for a month. Was backfiring and whatnot, so I tried fresh gas, then I replaced the points (they weren't opening even close to when they should), still no pop. The piston skirt is scored (exhaust side) and seems to be slappy too, maybe someone put an AM piston in that was too small. My subaru is also doing a crank no start with fuel and weak spark.
Seems like it's time to check compression, is there a decent one for not a lot of money that will work in a variety of applications (saws, bikes, cars with deep valve covers)?
