My old faithful '72 Sportwin 9.5 ran like a champ through the 3 weeks of a perch derby in late April & early May. It then sat at my dock for a week, then wouldn't start.
I took it to the local dealer after the usual DIY attempts were unsuccessful and they reported that the coils were shot and compression was only 40 psi in one cylinder and 60 psi in the other: not worth fixing.
What I'm wondering is, if I fix the ignition issues, can the compression problem wait 'til next winter? I've worked on motors before, but am not well set up at this new home.
Advice greatly appreciated.
