Did not use the MMO yet and everything is pretty much covered, cannot see rodents getting into the engine. Yes, I know not to use the starter but to use a screwdriver to turn. I'm going to make a tool to put on the balancer shaft end to turn, don't really want to go under and up several times.
If the engine has a generator, assume it has not been converted to 12 volts. Gotten a 6 volt battery for farm equipment. Once I know things turn freely and safely, I'll check for compression. Almost want to try to start before tearing down. Then again might change mind... Anxious to get it running, but don't want to screw it up either.
