Compression Test

[deaceabea]

Hi,

Just done a compression test on each of the cylinders on my sick Variant:

Cyl 1 45 psi
2 40 psi
3 47 psi
4 46 psi

These seem rather low, would appreciate some comment.

Thanks

Yes theyre all but non existant. First thing to do is check your valve clearances are correct.

And make sure the Battery is fully charged & remove all of the plugs

I have re tested the cylinders using a proper tester not the Mickey Mouse one I purchased and all is well, with readings now around 140/150psi, one at 120. So crisis over.

Thanks to all who offered advice.

I still need to find out why it's not running properly but relieved it's not mechanical.
