I'd be doing my top end.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking also..any chance that would be a loose head bolt or something? I did check the 118 side at first and it wouldn’t keep psi for a little while 😕 then it held and gave me 118

You could try it but it's doubtful. How old is the motor and do you know if it's ever had work done?

Well man, you live and you learn. I just got done rebuilding 2 Banshees and both run and have great compression. If yours were rebuilt it would have good compression unless they did a terrible job.  

 

If you ask me when you're buying a quad or anything with an engine it either runs or it doesn't.

 

If they can't get it started while you're there, it doesn't run and you should pay appropriately.

Yes sir very correct..shee does start 1st/2nd kick tho. But I think I’m still gonna freshen it up just so I know it’s good to go..I got all winter! ..oven been checking it all over so it’s ready to roll 💯 come spring /summer

Oh I assumed it didn't run for whatever reason.

If you do the work yourself you can rebuild it for about $300. And that's for pro lites. Assuming everything else is good.

umm what?

Are you doing a compression test correctly?

First, get the correct tool. A compression gauge with the schrader valve in the tip. Make sure the tip is the same size as your spark plug and threads in the same depth.

Second, make sure tip is fully in the head and doesn't leak. 

Kick engine over with throttle held open. Kick till needle stops moving.

I have a lisle 20250 compression tester..throttle wide open and kicked it tell the compression stopped climbing..other spark plug was in on the other side.

i take the other side plug out always, so much easier to kick. depends on the motor too and comp levels

dont make a difference as far as result just my preference

Just run that shit dude. By the time it blows up you'll be ready for a bigger motor or a 4 stroke.

I would run it too. 

[ZillaFreak]

I would not run 100 on one side and 118 on the other. The difference is too much IMO. Also without knowing everything about the engine, 100psi could be very low.
