RUDEDAWG Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Well, you know the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" Never trust a cheap compression tester anyway. Quote
bansheefreak Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 i agree if it aint broke dont fix it... both cyls are the same so thats good when they are diff is when i would be looking to rebiuld it ... Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 I'm thinkin the same about the tester you used, try a different one! At 90 it should be hard to start, how does pressure feel on the kicker? Quote
black sunshine Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 I've been down this road... If you don't have difficulty starting the beast then do yourself a favor and borrow/rent/buy a quality compression tester or just forget about the readings you got! Quote
R. Rollins Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Hell yea. Run her till she breaks, then you will know what to fix. Its a man toy for heavens sakes. Play with her and dont worry about specifics. When you can no longer have the reliability you once had, then see about a new top end. Ride my man Ride on. Quote

I would definetely get ahold of an accurate compression tester and find out for sure. Quote
