Hi All

I finally found the compression gauge

So would like to see how bad my Victa is (clubman)
https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=33263#Post33263

just if someone can point me to a "how to do this"
as a step by step (if one exists)

Just that I read in this thread
https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=31138&page=1
"remove the decompresser and plug it with a spark plug? "
so now I am wondering on that?

I did try it with the gauge with and without a T-spoon oil
(from other threads I'd read)

there was a little change, say 5~7 PSI
but yes a bit it seems
but this threw a spanner in the works for me ..on the Decompressor

oh & does the throttle have to be an any particular position?..just checking

I know that they are different motors but I think they basically function the same..so humm

Just trying to get this right

Also what is a normal range for the victa compression psi/kpa ?
(that would be viable for operation)

I got 600 kpa near 90 psi
with decompresser in place
so that maybe totally meaningless numbers..
I wont post the picture just in case it is

again Thank you for your Help smile

Cheers smile
