[QUOTE="TimberPig, post: 1035694, member: 66421"] Just what exactly is the compression actually reading. A gauge will give a precise number, and if the gauge is any good it will be accurate as well. Your foot will give an imprecise, inaccurate guess. Seized pistons can feel like compression is good due to the resistance in the cylinder that must be overcome, even though a compression tester will show the compression is too low to run.

It requires a strong enough spark, at the correct time, to ignite the correct air/fuel mix delivered by the carburetor, a properly sealed crankcase (2 stroke), and strong enough compression in the cylinder to allow it to run correctly. When any of these is off, the bike may not run correctly, if at all. [/QUOTE]
