how can you do a compression test on full throttle lol

[philip]

hold the throttle wide open as you crank it over he means. and hope you didnt put oil down the bores as that would cause comp to read high.

I asked that as there wasnt much info. sometimes the bores dry so it help to drop a touch or oil down then at least the bores will be sealed the same on the rings. Well thats what I was told anyway a bit old skool but old ways are sometimes the best :thumb:

As was always told to do 2 tests 1 dry and 1 with a teaspoon of oil in the chamber

if the readings get higher with oil I was told the rings are ****ed as the oils creating a seam where the rings aren't
