Okay I finally got my compression gauge 12mm adapter. Here's the results...

I did several tests and on each one I got the exact same reading; it would top out and hold at 149psi (just over a 1000kpa). That places it toward the bottom of the standard range, but a good way above the minimum limit of 114psi.

So there we have it. Even though the bike is toward the bottom of the standard range, it's still within the standard range. The big question now is WHAT'S NEXT???

Should I consider getting a new ignitor? Could it be the timing? How can I make sure it's getting fuel (not counting starter fluid)? What should I do?

I know the battery is fine. Whenever I'm cranking it over, I hook the battery up to my charger so it's always putting out a strong charge.

I'm just baffled. It's nice to know that the engine compression is good, but now I'm back to square one. I'll try anything.
