Hiram Posted November 17, 2003 Report 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 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
Hiram Posted November 18, 2003 Author Report 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
