I replaced the mag pick up brushes - I saw a post fromBeezealex about a spark test, use an old plug and open up the gap to 60 thou, if the spark jumps the gap it should be a usable spark. Tried this and no problem at all - nice fat spark.
I bought a cheap compression tester off Amazon - this test did not go so well, after about 5 kicks I only got 25psi on the RH cylinder (this cylinder runs) Nothing on the LH (non running)
I made a note of the valve cycle whilst turning over by hand; I took note of the valves after every 360 turn at TDC. All valves are operating i.e opening and closing fully

By looking at this can anyone say wheather the valves are cycling correctly? The timing seems a bit odd, for instance at one point the inlets were both open.
