Oh dear, it looks like I have broken the metal gauze fuel filter that was sitting in the collection point of the fuel tank. The layer of varnish is incredible. No rust though!
I pulled the head off today. It was dry and a bit carbony, but still had lovely cross hatch markings and no scoring from what I could see.
Poured some oil down there and let it sit for a bit. Gave the flywheel a few half turns to get the oil everywhere. It certainly helped the compression...!
Unfortunately though, no spark. That could be a billion things, so that's something for later.
