How Can I get the detailed instructions on how to test for the compression release
Having just gone thru this myself. Try these steps
Pull the sparkplug and see if the motor spins over. If it does, go the the next step. If it doesn't look look into the electrical system
If the motor spins over without the sparkplug installed but won't with it installed, pull the valve cover and adjust the valves. In doing so, watch for a small secondary bump on the rockers that would indicate the compression release is working. If after adjusting the valves, it still doesnt turn over and you don't see the little bump on the rockers, you probably lost the compression release. This was what mine was. It's a pretty simple job if you have the tools and a bit of a shadetree mechanic.
Good luck....john
