[QUOTE="Michaeldinpc, post: 332627, member: 12978"] Thanks Jasper. I will try to round up another compression tester. Are the symptoms of a bad part in the CDI system similar to that of an old point system? My understanding is if there was something broke or worn to cause low / uneven compression readings the motor wouldn't want to idle so smooth if it was warm or hot... Mine idled low and steady for 30-45 min in a trash can. Didn't have a problem till I ran it at more than an idle out on the lake. I believe an ignition / spark system problem might not show until it is been ran hard for a little while.... If I'm wrong don't bite your tongues. I'm on here cause I'm not sure where to go from here and google hasn't turned up anything else useful to trouble shoot. Thanks again [/QUOTE]
