Post subject:  Leak down test results

so after getting my OTC tester in today, I could wait.

followed directions and the eneed up with the following:
Cylinder 1: 17%
Cylinder 2: 5%

With Cylinder 1 the leak are equal parts through intake and exhaust.

With cylinder 2, I'm pretty sure all 5% is exhaust valve.

Any solid opinions on leave alone or not is appreciated.

not bad just wanted to see, give some sorta baseline, I have lost about 2-3 mph overall just by myself, with a load only a tad longer holeshot.

You can yank the heads off and have a valve job done, just remember that eventually they will start to leak again. So in my opinion it's a "bang for your buck" thing...once you're dissatisfied with performance have them taken care of.

Unless it starts to show symptoms of other problems too.

I had to order one as well, should arrive tomorrow. I've never used one, I figured it should be pretty easy to use

that hardest part with the motor completely together is getting the piston TDC

Did the piston try to stroke when you applied the pressure?

I think yours might be reading a bit low. When I get a a tight bb Briggs .with no air leaking from valves I'm still in the 10-14 range. If I can hear a little air from valves it's usually north of 20%. My tester is snap on and I know that doesn't mean shit. This one has earned my trust. Maybe someone else will say what there getting

Hey Tyler, probably a stupid question but when you did the test did you just take valve covers off?

Or do you just listen through the exhaust carb and case?

What condition is your prop in? Doesn't take much wear on the tips to loose a couple mph on top.
