Soooooo. . . . I bought it
Ok. So now the Carver sits in my driveway. (I'll post more pics of it later) Was told the engine runs. Did compression test 80 on the three left cylinders and 85 on the three right ones. When I looked at the engine it seems to be missing something from the top of it. Any idea what is missing? Cuz I'm new to this and have no idea.

So I did research and I believe it's just the power pack missing. It's on order and will be installed shortly. Is there anything else I might be missing? Also, anybody know what the compression should be? Here are some more pictures of the engine

Compression on that engine should be 85-90. When doing a compression test, the throttle MUST be wide open and you NEED a GOOD HOT battery. They have fairly low cranking compression because they have an idle relief in them that vents compression out the exhaust. At higher RPM the relief doesn't let much out, but at low RPM's it lets alot out. It makes them use a bit more idle fuel, and smoke a bit more, but it lets them idle so much smoother. If you block the reliefs, compression should be around 125-135 on it cranking compression. Be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN the carbs are clean in it as a SLIGHT lean out WILL burn a cylinder up. And to be safe, do a decarb on it as the #1 killer of these engines is stuck rings from hardened carbon buildup.
