ADJUSTING THE COMPRESSION PRESSURE
N.B.:
INSUFFICIENT COMPRESSION PRESSURE LEADS TO A LOSS
OF POWER.
Check:
- Valve clearance.
Outside that specified => Adjust .
See “ VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT ” section.
Start the engine and leave to warm up for a few minutes.
Stop the engine.

If it exceeds the permitted maximum pressure => Inspect
the cyulinder head, valve surfaces and piston head for
carbonisation.
If below the minimum pressure=> Inject a few drops of
oil into the cylinder and measure again.
Follow the table below:
