Hello again all,
So I've got two Moto Skeeter 550s. Until recently, both ran like a charm, then one won't start any longer.
Compression testing shows 100 psi for the 'running' skeeter and only 60 for the other.
So I guess that tells the tale....curious though, what kind of compression ratings should I be finding on a 1972 vintage 5.5hp BSE....? I'm thinking 100 wouldnt be all that bad? and 60 is certainly not a good thing...(autopsy still to be completed on this one)...what kind of ratings would one expect on a 'fresh' motor?
thoughts/input?
much appreciated
(does this mean I'll have to change my name from '2 skeeters' to '1 skeeter and a large paperweight'??? LOL :doah:
