[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 1673, member: 82"] I'm glad you like your 4 in 1 bucket, i would me lost without mine. Those compression readings you gave are really quite good, so i was told, a new engine should give 450-500 PSI, so yours is still in very good condition. I can't remember the acceptable vairation from cylinder to cylinder unfortumatly. You can live with compression down to about 350, but this is where it starts to get really hard to start. As for a glowing button, i was going to setup a timing circuit and set it to 30 - 60 seconds but i don't want to burn the plugs out from running them too long. I know it is safe to run the engine with them still glowing, but only for a short time. It is a second hand engine so the compression won't be really great. I have found that an engine i re-conditioned also need a fair bit of glowing to start. So people tell me, it takes time for the compression to build up as the engine wears in, i really hope this is true. I have only run it for maybee a total of 3-4 minutes. As for knowing my bobcats... i don't know that much, but i am learning more and more with fiddling with the ones i have. Hopefully over x-mas i will strip 1 of my 743's down to paint and finish fixing. [/QUOTE]
