1. '75 Midget Engine Rebuild (score: 1): Author: "J. Michael Roach" <mroach@socketis.net>; Date: Tue, 3 Oct 1995 15:41:20 -0500; Randy mentioned in an email to me that 75 psi was rather low for an = Midget. He also mentioned that rebuild was likely necessary (rings, = head gasket, etc. could be the culprit). I plan to replace; /html/mgs/1995-10/msg00064.html (7,855 bytes)

The compression gauge is the rubber tipped kind that you force into the spark plug socket. There is plenty of room for user error. At least one cylinder had just under 100.

Vacuum leaks can lean your mixture which can cause some problems. Are you sure that your compression is 75 psi? I had a tester once that I discovered was off by 40 l; /html/mgs/1995-10/msg00090.html (8,325 bytes)

When one does a compression test on a car with SU carbs, clearly the throttle plates should be open. What about the pistons in the carbs--should they be propped up?; /html/mgs/1995-10/msg00099.html (7,907 bytes)

The idea is that if you can't get air into the cylinder because the throttle plates are closed, there's no air to compress. Fuel has little to do with it (I think).

RE: '75 Midget Engine Rebuild (score: 1): Author: "White, Richard H." <White@courier3.aero.org>; Date: Wed, 4 Oct 1995 20:59:00 -0700; I cant believe a Midget with 75psi compression can run well either. It must be burning alot of oil or something else is a foot here. I've used the rubber tiped compression gauge and it worked well, j; /html/mgs/1995-10/msg00119.html (8,264 bytes)

As a general question, how can one tell where the rumbling / knock on startup comes from. Is it big ends / main bearings / somewhere else.
