COMPRESSION PRESSURE
MEASUREMENT
NOTE:
● Insufficient compression pressure will
result in performance loss.
● Before measuring the compression pres-
sure, the valve clearance should be
adjusted.
Refer to “VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUST-
MENT” section.
1.Place the machine on a level place.
2.Remove:
● Spark plug
3.Measure:
● Compression pressure
**********************************
Measurement steps:
●Install the Compression Gauge 1.
●Crank over the engine with the electric
starter (be sure the battery is fully
charged) with the throttle wide-open until
the compression reading on the gauge
stabilizes.
WARNING
When cranking the engine, ground the
spark plug lead to prevent sparking.
●Check readings with specified levels (see
chart).
