I went out and bought a compression test kit this morning. I came right back home and began with the right cylinder. I turned off the gas and drained the float bowl. Then I took the plug out and connected the pressure gauge. I turned her over and the right cylinder read 90 PSI. Turned her over some more and the gauge red about 90 PSI tops.
I squirted some oil in there, turned her over, and read 130 PSI. Cranked some more and it stayed at 130 PSI.
Did the same on the other side. Screwed in the gauge, turned her over, and read 90 PSI. Squirted some oil in and the gauge jumped and kept rising the more I cranked, unlike the right cylinder, to about 240 PSI.
Kinda weird right? Something's fishy. My re bore job must have been terrible.
