Model 60ES-70B. I checked compression. 98, 112, 102 top to bottom. Replaced plugs and gapped to .030. Power pulse ignition pack wires were very brittle all the way down into the unit itself. I did best I could to add on fresh wire. Tested at purple wire on block w key on, had 12.04 volts, put test light on block at blue wire and cranked motor. Light did not make a flicker whatsoever. I pulled flywheel and cleaned n gapped points to .010. Still nothing. Not even an attempt to fire with fuel directly in cylinders. The motor has been sitting since 2010 under tarp. I'm thinking power pulse pack was too far gone?? Any help with something I didn't try? Also what's the average price of used known working pack? Thanks in advance
 
Inspect / evaluate this motor before spending any beer tokens.---I would pull the cylinder head.----Those compression numbers are way too low.----Or perhaps test with another gauge.
