Hiram Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 How do I properly check compression??? I picked up a Craftsman compression tester kit and this is what I did. I warmed up the quad about 5 minutes then I removed one plug and screwed down the fitting and with the ignition off and WOT I started kicking her over as hard as I could and here is the reading I got 6 kicks=130, 16 kicks=140 and 25 kicks=150 and I just got tired after that, so with that said what is my compression ????

bansheelover Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 well from what i know u kick it until the gauge stops increasing in psi. i think it should have stopped by at least 10 kicks but im not sure, im just going by the procedures on a car or truck. is it a stock motor?? if it is , then 150 sounds pretty high other than that, thats all i can offer ya hope it helps Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiram Posted November 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 The motor was ported by me using a Race logic template and the head was shaved about .030 and the timing is advanced +4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
