I just installed new air filter and spark plug. Picked up new starter handle and rope, ordered new brake handle. Supposed to be in tomorrow. Got fuel filter while I was there too.

Compression is at 158.

Do I need to check vacuum too? Someone mentioned that, I don’t have anything to check vacuum.
 
See where it’s broken? How about drilling and tapping for a machine screw either side, and putting a piece of sheet metal across. The screws go through holes in the sheet metal, holding the broken piece in place. At the shop the guy was perplexed why he couldn’t find the serial number, I had this off. Doh!
