Bad news-finally got my hands on a 12mm adapter for my compression tester... 40 PSI, barely got it to 60 with a shot of oil in the spark plug hole...

Safe to say the rings are cooked?


Did you disconnect the compression release before trying a compression test?

No, what is the procedure for doing that?

That wouldn’t change the fact/implications that the PSI jumped by nearly 50% after squirting oil in the cylinder though, right?

Get the decompression disconnected
Test
Still low?
Make sure the valves aren't tight.

Is that as simple as disconnecting the relay?

I've never done it, but the solenoid that pulls the decompression lever can't do that if it's not plugged in.
And check the linkage, make sure it's not engaged. It's hard to get compression with the decompression engaged.

Disconnect the lever at the top of the cylinder head. Also, when running a compression check make sure the throttle is wide open too.

Disconnected the decompression solenoid cable, retried the compression test and got the same results: 40 dry, 60 with oil in the cylinder see.

Do you have access to a leak-down or differential compression tester? It's the most complete cylinder diagnostic tool. Harbor Freight sells one for cheep.

The results will reveal whether its the intake valves, exhaust valves, rings or piston.

You disconnected the wires to the decomp ,but you need to check that there is slack in the cable running to the arm on the  shaft , if not the exhaust valves could still be being held open.

Yes. I made sure to test the compression with and without the slack. It yielded no difference in the compression values.

I’ll look into the differential compression tester. There is a harbor freight close by.

Why would you test it without the slack ?
