IMG_0428.JPG I never buy a piece of equipment without one or attempt to diagnose a problem before being sure compression is not the issue |

Re: 97 has spark, fuel, compression, air but won't start
easy compression test no tools.
Remove the spark plug and put your thumb over the hole tight- step on the pedal, if you cant hold your finger over the hole, you have enough compression. |

Re: 97 has spark, fuel, compression, air but won't start
I disagree your standard in home water pressure is 40-45 psi try plugging a garden hose with your finger you cant hold it that being said a motor could be putting our 50 or 60 psi "blowing your thumb off the hole" yes but not nearly enough to run

Re: 97 has spark, fuel, compression, air but won't start
I am willing to say 9 times out of 10 it ain't the compression but it doesn't hurt to rule it out these kits are cheaper than an oil change so why use your finger and not know for sure, I mean your finger does not have a gauge or a shredder valve on it just saying

Re: 97 has spark, fuel, compression, air but won't start
Having the same issue with a 98 club car with a Kawasaki FE engine. Has compression (120+psi), fuel (brand new carburetor), and spark. No ethanol fuel has ever been used. Drained fuel tank and swabbed dry. Attempts to run for a second and moves about a foot or two before dying. Does pop/backfire occasionally, valves have been adjusted and move freely with no sticking. Any ideas?

Re: 97 has spark, fuel, compression, air but won't start
If you have everything you need to make a boom, then the only thing left is timing. Is it sparking when it should be sparking?

Re: 97 has spark, fuel, compression, air but won't start
ok, so checked the compression and it was 85psi.
BUT strangest thing of all, when I put the plug back in... I tried the pedal again... and it's starting/running again. I am at a loss to understand , but happy it's running. |
