    New key purchased and on the way, but I found out that lapping compound has so many varieties I am unsure what to get. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi folks, at the risk of sounding silly, I'm going to go ahead and post this. I just bought the motor in the subject from a guy on Facebook. I visited, found the motor was only firing on one cylinder. I swapped the spark plugs and figured out it was the plug and not the coil. I did a...
