sixtwoeight Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Thought I start a specific thread for another one of my problems... On running the engine for the first time in many years, it smoked a lot and smelled fumey. It has a new carb which I adjust the mixture by using a vacuum gauge and the choke is functioning. I did a compression test this morning and the results are. 1980 2 1/4 petrol ENGINE COLD. DRY WET (small amount of oil in bores) 1 185 200 2 160 170 3 170 180 4 160 170 To me number 1 seems high but don't know why it would be? Any cause for concern in your opinions?? Thanks Edited March 25, 2018 by sixtwoeight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixtwoeight Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Any opinions as to whether the numbers are ok and therefore not pointing towards rings?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 They are all very good, and I would suspect you've got a shaved head there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
