Well, my ol' Toothless passed his compression test.
130, 150, 150, 150. In PSI.
So, #1 is down about 14%.
But, as the shop manual specs say lowest down no more than 70% of highest, and none lower than 100PSI, all is well. So no imminent need of a major teardown.
Which I thought was the case, as it burns very little oil, so I knew the rings were OK. But the valves or camshaft timing could have been off.

Have some new ignition coils coming, along with new plug wires. That should get the sparky system back up to snuff.

My trusty steed should continue to serve me well, knock on wood.
