Re: What do you think of these compression numbers
Thanks Chris, I was sort of thinking that too. My gauge was a 20 dollar special and I think that if all the cylinders are the same that I am going to stick with it. I have lots of machines with 2 strokes and I haven't had one that slowly died yet. It seems everything else I have (snowmobiles, dirt bikes, chainsaws, etc.) work great until a sudden kaboom!
I am running a 15 pitch Solas four blade prop and it is on a 93 18 foot Maxum bowrider. It is a heavy boat but I am only getting about 2000 rpm's for the first 5 - 10 seconds of my hole shot or at least until I get on plane.
I put in a clear fuel line over the weekend and I think the poor girl is starved for fuel. The fuel line past the pump was never more than a 1/4 full. I will be re-building the fuel pump but it was almost as if there was some sort of vapour lock limiting the fuel to the pump. I will replace all lines and the bulb, fittings and see what happens.
I like looking at all the cheap fix items first and then work into the major components.
As for the link and synch what should I be looking for? I really think I have a fuel delivery problem and to be honest I know very little about the link and synch or what to be aware of?
Also the motor seems low, would bringing it up help or hinder a hole shot? It is the lowest it can go right now.
