Friiy you are on a lucky streak. Yes it was stuck in gear. It spins freely now (maybe a little too freely?). Hard to say how much compression but it does spin. I pulled the plug and sucked out some of the fluid that was in there. I took a small baby food jar of this fluid to my local auto parts store and they said it is 'Marvel Mystery Oil.' That stuff has a strange yet familiar smell (kerosene?) and is not diesel as I had first suspected. I wire brushed the plug but there was no rust on it just the normal crud (not white or grey) and the plug also had some of the Mystery oil on it. I have not found the electrode yet., nor do I know what one is. Working on this motor is a little like working in the dark with all the Italian. and the symbols on the choke, throttle and fuel valve have me completely baffled. My first impression of the Acme engine is that it is (or at least once was) very well constructed and the design leaves little to be desired. The pull starter is very beefy, the starter cord is made of steel cable, and most of the moving parts seem made to last a long time. Tommorrow I'm going to follow down some leads (thanks) and track down an owner's manual and service manual.
