6. Measure:
• Compression pressure
Out of specification Refer to steps (c)
and (d).
a. Set the main switch to “ON”.
b. With the throttle wide open, crank the
engine until the reading on the compres-
sion gauge stabilizes.
WARNING
To prevent sparking, ground the spark plug
lead before cranking the engine.
c. If the compression pressure is above the
maximum specification, check the cylinder
head, valve surfaces and piston crown for
carbon deposits.
Carbon deposits Eliminate.
d. If the compression pressure is below the
minimum specification, pour a teaspoonful
of engine oil into the spark plug bore and
measure again.
