Thanks. Mine is German built, just smaller than your examples (I live in Germany). What books that are still available are in German. The factory has been closed for ten years now. Every now and then someone puts a repair manual on ebay, but they are real proud of them. I get along with the language face to face, but books (especially technical) are real head scratchers.
I have a glow plug system (not working at the moment). My ether injection system is a quick squirt of thrust in the breather mushroom while cranking. I wouldn"t worry much about it, but I have to go through inspection (late already)and these folks get pretty hard headed about things working the way they should. Guess I"d better check my compression. At the risk of sounding like an idiot, I check it the same way you would a gas engine (just in my case it would be the glow plug hole)?

Thanks for the patience.

Dave
