Fuel, Spark, Nothing...

Post by CHEVY-212010 »

I have fuel and spark, so it is probably the compression. I dont know currently what the comperssion is but im getting a tester tomorow. What and where should i look for if there is low compression?
Thanks

i don't know what you mean, what you should look for? look for your gauge to give a low reading




or do you mean what could be wrong? bad piston rings, worn or scratched cylinder, bad head gasket, leaking around the spark plug, warped head. One time i had a big chunk of piston missing on my jetski, its compression was not very high on that cylinder. But bad piston rings is probably your culprit

Checked my compression today, and it was averaging around 135 psi.
Sooo... i started to reclean everything
still no go
decided to change back to my origional spark plug and boom!
Solved the problem

New spark plugs are not only cheap but solve a lot of engine issues. I put a new plug in every spring at start up and then any time the engine has an issue.
