Wanted to go for my first ride this year, Drained a bit of oil out the sump, Swopped battery, Pumped up tyres, Comet started first kick !!, On choke, Mk2 amal.
I thought this is good, Just let it warm up, Check oil flow etc.
Then change of sound and it stopped, Begger !.
No compression, Out with the Plug, Squirt of WD40, In the hole and we have compression !, Quick kick and it's fine.
I have had no compression after winter lay off before, Many times, But not after it has already been running.
Once it has started in past years, It has been OK for the rest of the year.
I think the Valves are a bit gummed up with coke, Can't remember last time the Cylinder Head was off !!.
Don't want to find work !.
Anyway, Went for a nice short !, Ride, Bit worried it was going to go wrong, But all was fine. Cheers Bill.
