Ok, did a compression test, still 120 psi in both cylinders (AHHHH! WHATS GOING ON!!!???) - just venting... and the good news is: My crankcase holds pressure :biggrin: 6 psi - and still holding :thumbsup: Whats the deal with my compression? i have new pistons and a new noss head!

Thanks,

Eric :beer:

something is goofy cause every pj i played with it took at least 8-9 full turns out to get it to idle.

 

Word. My banshee would barly ideal at 7 turns out. I think I ruan in in the 8.5 turns out range.

Still no squish test, but some more interesting information:

 

Thinking that i'm having pressure coming through my reeds (VFORCE3'S), I pull off my reeds completely and i get 140 psi in each cylinder instead of 120 with them on... petals are not too tense on the cage, but they are brand new reeds (not even 2 hours on them). I put on the stockers, still 140 psi... Very weird... friend was telling me maybe rings have not set, so i poured about a teaspoon on motor oil in the cylinder and kicked it over a few times to let the oil get on the rings, did a comp test, only brought it up like 2-3 psi.. also, another interesting idea, the gauge isnt that expensive, just a 25 dollar checker compression gauge (yayaya dont tell me), the hose leading up to the gauge itself is probably around another 2 cc's - so i thought why not add that to my 18cc domes

 

Sea Level 1000' 2000' 3000' 4000' 5000'

18cc 197 178 171 170 165 145

19cc 183 167 160 158 152 137

20cc 169 156 149 146 140 129

21cc 156 145 138 134 128 121

stock 130 125 118 112 106 100

 

 

Like this table says 18cc + 2 cc = 20 cc = 146 psi for 3000 ft (i'm at 3500 ft - so about 140 psi[what i'm reading]) but if the idea is plausable my comp should be around 165-170..

 

What are your thoughts on that????

:thanks:

Eric
