When I got my 700s fired up for the first time #1 cylinder wasn't firing. Compression check showed 80lbs in that cylinder. My problem was stuck piston rings from sitting for years. I mixed acetone and atf 50/50 and poured into cylinder, let soak for a week. This brought compression up to 120 , cylinder is firing and no more smoke. Got to change oil after the soak as some , if not all of the mixture will end up in crankcase. Darin
