Kick it until the psi dont go up anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kick it until the psi dont go up anymore. Very, Very good point. It normally takes a good 10 to 15 rapid kicks to get the reading. You either tested wrong, or the tester is garbage...unless you're 10,000 feet above sea level... You should probably be around 130PSI or so...21cc will raise the compression, and porting may lower it just a tad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEARMADE Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 yes kicked the shit out of it open throttle and all also just tryed it out on a briggs an strat motor got 95psi had to crank it alot im thinking my tester works that way and im just not turing the shee over enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 If you kicked it until the needle stops going, the tester is bad, period. Keep in mind, if the threaded part of the tester is not as long as your spark plug threads, you'll be a few pounds low, too. That's head volume that would normally be dispaced when a plug is in there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a stock shee will have around 125 psi close to sea level. If the exhaust port height is reduced by about 2mm, it will only reduce the compression by less that 10 psi. Are you sure the compression gauge is valid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peak-j Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I kicked mine about 5 or 6 times with throttle closed and it was 120 both sides. It is completely stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I think the lowest we were EVER able to pull-start a banshee at and actually ride it was around 75-80lbs in each cylinder. That was at 8800ft with stock head and it had a dead top end. If you pulled it and could get it to fire up it would run though. Just no power at all. LOL Try a different tester!!
