sbest Member Nov 3, 2015 343 2 18 Nova Scotia Dec 15, 2015 #23 Throttle must be open for accurate compression reading.
Ahmedy New Member Nov 2, 2015 20 0 0 South Africa Dec 15, 2015 #24 Whoops my bad. No I didn't have the throttle wide open. I'll give it a try later during the week or when I get a chance again.
