Your point on compression test was well-made. Unfortunately, my compression gauge only has a 14 mm x 1.25 fitting, the Bayou needs a 12 mm x 1.25 fitting for the plug hole...so against my better judgement, I went ahead and replaced the head gasket without doing a compression test. I have an adapter ordered that will at least tell me the state of compression post-gasket install....I will tear down the carb and clean everything up and then post back on progress.
