Hey. I have a 1983 KLT 200. Mechanically very good but the engine runs for a short time then quites. Fouls the plug badly and won't start till it cools off. Did a compression test dry (70 psi). Squirted some oil in the plug hole and checked it again (120 psi). Does this mean the rings are gone? Does anyone out there have any advice on how to get this machine reliable again? Thanks.
