I have a compression tester stuck in Cyl 4 (one of the deep ones).
the rubber spins, but where it threads in is tight and won't thread out. Any clue as to how to get the darned thing out? Without cutting the rubber to get a pair of needle nose pliers in there? over 160 compression, so at least thats good. :-) (turned out the cylinder was not firing due to a plugged idle jet. Which I had guessed. But I was curious about the compression. Something about killing a cat...) Zach |
