“When I check compression, I count the revolutions, you will hear it hit the gauge each time it comes up on compression, I usually go five hits per reading.”

When I checked my compression last I didn’t hear anything “hit” the gauge. I was in the cab stomping on the starter button. Guess I was supposed to be under the hood and manipulating the starter linkage?? I’ll try that method this week.

Jerry, I didn’t know I was supposed to take out all the spark plugs. I only took out the one and replaced it with the screw in hose to the pressure gauge. I’ll remove the other five next time.
