    Does anyone in chch have a compression tester i could borrow?

    Mine screw in one doesn't fit a 12mm bike spark plug thread

    Want to do a quick check to narrow down what's causing the bike to run a bit crap, pretty sure it's not engine related as it runs on 4 sometimes, happy to pick up and drop off again about an hour later.

    I have a push in one with a rubber tip but it's really a two man operation to use ( and I'm in Rangivegas)

    All sorted (thanks Kickaha), and all pretty good as I thought it would be, just nice to tick things off the list.

    Not too bad on a air cooled naked 4 cylinder, possible to hold it in place and reach the throttle/starter button.
