| hopefully I can finish this without loosing it all and throwing the computer across the room! Man I hate computers tonight.
Ok I think you have compression and air compressor mixed up. A compression tester screws into the head where the spark plug goes. They are available on the internet or from a local parts store. What it will tell you is how much air each cyl. is compressing. What you would be looking for is less than 10% differance between all the cyl.
A leak down tester pressurizes the cyl at a specific pressure and can tell you what % is leaking.
A air compressor is used for this test.
Both of thest tests will indicate the condition of the motor.
For the swivel bracket you will need to pull the powerhead (motor) from the midsection to remove the top mounts. It makes it easier to do with the L/U off.
You are better off getting a manual first then this all will make more sence.
What year and serial # is the motor and I can get a part # for the impeller. |
