    I will retest the compression with all plugs removed to get a more accurate reading.
    Forget about the compression. It's fine.

      Ive been intimidated to separate carbs and do a complete strip down that I might get stuck screws and problems doing correct reassembly. Ok Im going to go for it and see if I can get all the cylinders running nicely. Do you guys recommend buying an ultrasonic cleaner and any recommendations? Also where is best place to buy replacement O rings? I tried a member website but it was removed. Thanks guys

        I have O-ring kits. Send me a PM for info. It takes a little while to get to the UK, but I've sent kits to UK before without issue.

        You may need an impact driver to get off the large # 3 screws that hold the carbs to the joining plate. Other than that, it's just normal hand tools stuff. Just take your time and take photos as you go.

          Good bit of advice. Buying a $10 set of made in Japan JIS bits in the #1/#2/#3 size has saved me many stripped screw heads and much frustration over the last few years
