![]() I just picked up a compression guage but I'm still at work. What's a ballpark compression reading that I should get?
Brakleen is a an autoparts store item, right? (brake cleaner?) Luckily the 80540 has no vacuum passages in it's base, just the crossover in the middle and 2 small crossovers on the ends. I flattened the silicone by hand so it wont bulge up when pressed down. Problem is I have a stripped carb base bolt (ds front) so sealing otherwise is impossible. I can see the little transfer slot "pockets" in the secondary side base when I had the base off. But the slots themselves are not cut out of the pockets on the secondary side. By the way, PKRWUD, you are _the man_.
