Had to take the piston out and once I did that I got the rings and piston into the cylinder. Re-assembled it all and put a little petrol in but it didn't start, yanked the starter cord a few more times but no start mad
So I can rule out compression. It now leaves fuel and spark. I put a tablespoon of fuel into the spark plug hole and it still didn't start so I guess it must be spark. I tested the spark and I noticed that sometimes it sparked but at other times there was no spark. It was inconsistent and these results were outside of the cylinder so under compression I guess the results would be even worse. Bruce mentioned the condenser, I notice that the condenser has 2 wires attached, one goes to the kill wire. There is a electronic terminal at the end, question is how do I replace the condenser ie what do I do with the wires? The photo shows the terminal, looks like the wires are crimped and soldered.
