A couple questions about this thing. Just rebuilt the carb. Still a starting issue. Compression is 110. I cannot find on the internet what the compression should be. Anyone know what that number should be? The sled ran fine at the end of last season, maybe a little sputter a couple times at full throttle on a warm day the last day out. If 110 is too low and a topend is needed, can I do just the rings? Can it be done with the motor still in the sled? Is it easier out? I've not done anything like this but I'm willing to get into it if I don't need an engineering degree. I'm not overly mechanical but I can do a few things with instructions.

It's my sons first sled so I want to keep expenses as low as possible.

Thanks in advance for any info that might help.
