Hi Yozzer74 welcome to the 400 owners club.
If you are unfamiliar with the 400, then you could do worse than to spend a few hours reading through this forum in particular Nurse Julie's build.
I bought mine in 2016, even if you don't want to return it to prestine condition ( which I didn't) be prepared to spend at least £2k and a lot of time to make it run properly and be reliable and safe, you need to got through the bike completely.
I replaced the rings and one piston that was damaged ( pays to take the engine apart), it had 33K on the clock and the last Tax disk was 1998. I now get around 120 -125 compression using the same type of compression guage you mention. It will do 70 no problem up a hill.
I found lots of bodges, in the wiring and fuse box etc.
good luck

Thanks think I'm going to need it. I was thinking of just buying a new wiring harness coils & points and taking it from there.
Bryanj:
Points, possibly complete with plate to get rid of chewed scres yes, coils rarely fail and the loom can be fixed 95% of the time, unless its been hacked about of course.
