arrgghh dont worry. Just turn it "over" - liek you would to start the car normally. The engine will make a " dun dunnnnn" noise and kep the key in the same position until it does it 5 or 6 times.Quote:

Nice write up Benj... get some pants! :p
i plan to do the test on a ZC tomorrow, is it hard to get the spark plugs out?
Ie. is the spark plug remover necessary to get them out?
this test work on carby engines?
tried it and the compression tester keeps sitting on zero for some reason...
well the problem was that the compression tester wouldn't screw in properly, still cant get it to
Which part wont screw in ? The actual head which goes into the engine/spark hole ? Or the top which connects to the gauge ? Try running alittle fresh oil around the head to "seat" it in - and make sure all the gauge lines and screws are tight. Good luck !Quote:
