Compression reading
What is the expected psi reading on a cold compression test. It is a 1955 G3LS.

Re: Compression reading
I may be wrong but I don't think many of us have comp testing equipment although I think I have read about 120p.s.i after about 3 or 4 kicks, throttle wide open. No doubt someone who has used the equipment will confirm.bob121 wrote:What is the expected psi reading on a cold compression test. It is a 1955 G3LS.
On my G3LS the only 'test' I do (at ten and a half stone) is to be able to stand on the kickstart for a second or two.

Re: Compression reading
I have had a 55 G3LS since 1956. I never been aware of having to have a compression test.
