Long story short, last year I overheated it. Took the top end apart and replaced all the seals. The pistons and cylinders had some moderate scoring. I figured I would put it back together and see how it did. Well I never got it running right. I did get it running ok but it was a bitch to start and seemed to struggle at the mid range. Then it would start stalling. I have not touched it since.
Today I did a compression test and had 110psi (+/-3) on each cylinder. I can't get the thing started. It's got spark and it's got tons of fuel (flooding). I blew it out and pulled another 50 times. Not even a cough. Is 110 to low to get the necessary compression to fire the cylinders? Thinking of rebuilding it but not sure I have the time. Maybe just sell it as is.
Anyway, is my engine pretty much toast and that's why it won't start? Thanks
