I completed the compression test tonight. My results are as follows: 1 - 175 2 - 165 3 - 175 4 - 180 5 - 175 One thing I should add is that I did it cold and dry. The engine was not at operating temperature primarily because I hadn't emptied the engine oil yet and didn't want to have it circulating ...

In the owner's manual it specifies a Champion RC8PYP spark plug, but according to the Champion representative, that spark plug is only available in European and Champion said to use RC12PYP. No big deal e...
