    It seems trigger was the issue. Replaced and took out yesterday and back to running fine again. I appreciate all the help. Unfortunately, now it is time to winterize... Thanks again!

    Is there a test procedure for that? Can I do it at the lake still on trailer? In the 20's and 30's here, too big a pansy to run up and down the lake!

    Going to check carbs. Going to verify stator, regulator, and trigger first. The carbs are a pain to get off, will save them for last. Lol.

    OK to just check resistance with multimeter or do I need DVA?

    Just visually what I could see while apart. Felt tight and walls looked good.

    Gotcha. How do you tell if piston is shot? Is it pretty noticeable?
