I removed the starter on the SV and replaced it with a spare I had, and I am
happy to say I am driving again today, however I now have the dash light by
the ignition staying on all the time. Could someone tell me what this one if
for.

I also ran a compression test last night #1 & #2 are 150 -155 lbs and #3
& #4 are 170-175 lbs. I know 3&4 are o.k., but how concerned should I be
on #1& #2 cylinders.

Thanks

10% of 175 is 17.5......looks like italian tuneup time to me.............the
idiot light controller always went out on me( stayed on ). The warning light
normally tells you if the charging system is working....I supplimented it with
the stock ammeter.
