Hello, so I'm working on this thing still and things are progressing somehwat slowly due to parts arriving from all over the place still but I've got a question in regards to the ciompression, I've measured mine at 95 psi on both cylinders and I'm wondering how that sounds. I've read a bit online but the numbers differ quite a bit. Some sites claim 60 psi is the lowest you should accept and some say around 80 is the lower side, on youtube people generally land around 100 though and yet other things I hear are that the compression is good as long as it's within 10% between each cylinder. So my question is whether 95 psi is good enough, will the engine run fine and have it's 15 hp in tact?
Little side question, are the readvalves (I have butterfly ones) supposed to let absolutely zero light through when you hold them against light or is a slight shimmer of light okey? (Engine hasn't been blowing stuff out of the carb or anything) If it isn't okey with some light, how to fix it? I've tried adjusting their position slightly which has helped some but there is still that tiny line of light.
