Evie: No Compression

Stole the points with the nice new white wire from the model engine.

Also got a new roller from eBay to replace the very worn one.  Got that installed along with the new points plate.  Added 650mL of new oil, got the aux gas bottle and battery hooked up and everything was going swimmingly but then...

No compression at all.  Absolutely nothing.  Feels very much like it did when Ivy had the valve stuck open.

Really should have caught this sooner when I first installed the kick pedal... but oh well.

Suppose it could be something with the rings themselves but given that the Early Head is entirely untested, kinda thinking I may as well do that leak test.
