[QUOTE="83gl1200, post: 139087, member: 3756"] It has an electric fuel pump, so no problem there. I did check compression before starting work on the bike and at that time it was around 155 on all cyl, but that was after soaking the cyl's with marvel mystery oil so I could have gotten a better reading than normal thanks to mmo. I had to send that compression tester back to amazon though because it wouldn't hold pressure, its relief valve leaked. None of the auto parts stores have rentals with the right threads for this bike so can't just go rent one to check it again, would have to order another online. It runs well aside from the one cyl and makes no bad sounds, so I hope I wont find a bunch of bent valves. ***It was overheating before I put in a new oil pump though, and I've read before that will ruin head gaskets quick.**** I think thats why it failed after my initial compression tests. It was running on all cyl there for maybe 10 minutes before blowing the cdi, because it was making great power and ran smooth. I think the overheated head gasket gave up during my first 20 mi run. Yes I think this may be the bike from helI, if there were such a thing as hell which of course there isn't because naturally superstitious monkeys just made hell up. We will know for sure if after all this work it gets me killed in a car wreck before letting me enjoy at least one good ride. The damn thing also might need a new clutch as soon as I do get it running properly. I barely pull the lever at all and the clutch releases. Maybe I should set it on fire and move on before it puts me in an early grave or steals my last ounce of sanity. [/QUOTE]
