Also spun it and did compression ceheck, 115 all cylinders.Painted the cover while it was off.Let cover dry overnight. This morning I installed perfect new looking cover. Checked all the wires, fuel and cranked it. Moved about a 1/4 turn anstopped. Three four tries, ditto. So out comes the charger.
