Borrowed a mate's compression test thingy the other day to get reference set of compression readings. Anyway...aaaagh!!...the four readings I got were all in the 65 - 70 psi range, not the 180 odd that I was expecting. I didn't do the tests with the throttle wide open. Would this have made any difference? She starts and runs great. What does it all mean?
BTW, bit the bullet the other day to flush the brake fluid through the system, both front and rear, inc the ABS modulators. Used my home developed "sucking" machine and it worked great!! As TWB described in an earlier post "tighter than a pole dancer's tummy" since the flush!
Thanx, Rick G.
