Just done a compression test on my new to me R75/6.
Following tune up procedure in my Clymer so have done valve adjustments, plugs, timing, initial settings on the carbs, warmed the the engine up, removed both plugs then spun the engine over until pressure stabilized.
Just read an article on Adventure rider and they state to remove the carbs prior to doing the test else your readings will be low.
I got 112 psi on both sides which according to the Clymer is at the low end of the normal section.
Should I be removing the carbs and how warm should the engine be?
First time in doing this test and this is my first airhead (probably obvious)
