I don't have anything stick to compare it to but I think stock static compression should be around 130 psi Fresh. Anything less than 80 or 90 psi is getting pretty worn. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

30 isn't good. But 180 is really high for stock exhaust porting and stock head volume. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any auto parts store should have an inexpensive compression gauge. It should come with a few different tips. You need the one that matches your spark plug threaded part for an accurate reading. But for this exercise, accuracy is a luxury you can do without. You just need to see if you have adequate compression on both sides. If you have a hole in a piston, you would have low compression. But it also would have trouble on the intake stroke too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not exactly sure how that is even possible in any situation. So, if that is truly an accurate assessment of your motor, it is going to have to be taken apart to allow further investigation. I'd begin with removing the head. But I can't help but lean toward a mis diagnoses of compression at this point. Since you don't have a gauge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As your crankshaft rotates your pistons move up and down. On a twin cylinder one piston is at TDC while the other is at BDC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Manually kicking the kickstarter only causes the motor to rotate through its normal motion. The kickstarter gear rotated the secondary gear which rotates the primary gear attached to the end of your crankshaft. The more times you kick, the more rotations your crankshaft makes.

Piston goes up, compression. Piston goes down, intake. Compression pushes fuel charge out. Intake draws fuel in. Those are your basics. But you said you understood that part already. You need fuel, air, compression and ignition for a motor to start. Or turn on as you call it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would act pretty much the same but I would do it with one plug in, one plug out, then swap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Being totally serious. Now, how the hell did you kick it over with a thumb on the plug hole? Try rotating it by hand. You'll probably find they both do the exact same thing. Just as they should since they are duplicates of each other. Then go buy a gauge and measure what your static compression really is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just think about the action of the piston inside the cylinder with the revolution of the crankshaft. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do both go down every time? Or do they alternate? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not trying to be a dick or a smart ass, I'm just trying to get you to think yourself through some of your own questions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They are both cylinders with a piston in them and a carburetor attached to feed fuel. Both pistons are attached to the crankshaft via a connecting rod. Does logic lead you down the path that the would do anything that differs from anything accept exactly the same thing????? Now, when the piston goes up, what happens to the fuel charge in the cylinder??? When the piston goes down, what happens in the cylinder? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Or there is no electrical charge to the spark plug. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you have spark? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Remove spark plug. Place thumb over spark plug hole. Rotate kicker and see if there is compression. Or go buy one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you have cylinder compression? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Amateur....lol! But seriously, we use all stainless fasteners in a variety of materials, and unless the fasteners are over torqued, we have zero issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Plug the vent below the water pump and go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really? I know you have 3 chins. Doesn't that count for something?

All this talk of anti seize with stainless fasteners is bullshit. We manufacture equipment for the food and medical industry and use nothing but stainless fasteners 100% of the time and are not allowed by FDA to use and lubricants that don't meet a minimum of FDA requirements and can assure you, anti seize isn't one of them. We have zero issues with galling of fasteners unless they are abused or there is a pitch issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Could be also, but I didn't see anything on the cases. But hard to tell from a pic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
