Ok, just an update. I went to harbor freight and got a compression gauge set for 19.99 on sale. It actually had the right screw in fitting for the smaller plug size. It also had a handfull of different fittings and a case.
Hooked it up to the engine and cranked it over. The result was 0 psi. I thought the gauge was broke so i tried it on my outboard motor, well the gauge is not broke! So, I started taking everything apart. I found that the piston had a nice gouge along the side and knocked the top edge off of it.
SOoooo, i guess a rebuild kit is needed. lol.
let you all know when this gets going.
