Thanks guys for the replies.

 

I'll check the exhaust, but I'm 99% positive it's clear.  Governor and linkage are OK.  Good fuel supply - gravity feed into a new fuel pump.  Carb has been cleaned, including fuel shut-off valve, carb looks very good - almost new.  Good spark, stays strong when rev'd too.  I don't think you can do a leak down check on a Command as I think it has automatic decompression.

 

Ryan - air filter is new, so it's good.

 

I'm wondering if the rings didn't seat or I have read that sometimes with these Commands, if the engine is overheated, the rings will loose their hardness???

 

At this point, I'm thinking it's the rings.
