Morning crew. Great day fishing yesterday with beautiful weather. Have pictures to post this afternoon.

Sparky...will call you in a bit. Sit tight on that chain. I bet its a pitch issue. I have known .404 at the house and well get it straight. I also will buy that 81 loop if it is wrong for what you have in it plus shipping as my Echo 750 runs a 81dl loop.

I'm pretty sure its not .404 but I could be wrong. The old chain is REALLY worn. We can take a look at it when you get back sometime. I'm thinking if I add a link or two to the new chain it ought to fit.

Good luck to ya on the job hunt! That's always an exciting/stressful time for anyone. Just remember patience when looking and waiting to hear back. What kind of job are you looking for?

Cylinder 2 at tdc while cylinder 1 exhaust valve open

Correct?

Rolled each cilinder to tdc and rolled pushrods like John said they are straight

Off to do compression

Looks like im doing some planting today. I have 2 pepper plants to plant. 1 hot portugal pepper, and 1 red habenero. If I recall correctly, the red habenero is even hotter than the standard. :cool2:

Cylinder 1: 150psi

Cylinder 2: 160psi

One that will hire me... LOL

There is a hardware store and a grocery store local, and a few feed stores a little ways away. My paychecks will be going towards a used f150, and saws.

Not bad but there is something not quite right when there is ten or more lbs difference between cylinders. Try putting some oil in the low cylinder and turn it over several times, then take a compression test again.

 

[farrell]

Cylinder 1 is running rich

Plug is black

But if everything is checking out fine........

has to be carb?

Change that plug, it might be going bad. Is number one the lower reading cylinder?

Up to 155psi

Yes

New plug

 

[pioneerguy600]

Up to 155psi

If number one has the lower comp and that has the darker plug then its likely to have a bad intake valve.
