I ran a compression test today. 170 pounds in both cylinders, so that seems to be OK. I have not had any problems lately. The plugs (which are new now, maybe 2 hours) look real good. I will keep on PTing.
just a word of caution about test firing plugs outside of engine, my neighbor burned down a new simplicity riding mower doing that, was checking spark in one cylinder and motor started running which created a blowtorch effect on the opened cylinder before he could get it shut down/water hose to put out fire, but I am sure all pt owners have more common sense![]()
DOH!!!You bet!
That car going up in flames, due to cranking with the plugs out and the gas line disconnected never happened to anyone here. Sure, that's the ticket.![]()
