Default Re: Low Compression

Hi Joe, correct info above, squirt a little oil in and redo the comp test! Disconnect the coil and keep the throttle-blades wide open.

Another option, bring that cyl to TDC (firing position only), put about 100# of air in at the spark plug hole and listen for leaks. Could be at carb, exhaust, or in the crankcase! This should pretty much tell you what's up.

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. Hope all is well? Your parts are still "safe & sound"? Ya' just never know!
