Wide variations can sometimes be attributed to difference in different gauges
- mine reads 175 +/- with my gauge and 145 +/- with another gauge (the other
guys gauge is probably right - mine probly reads high) i think you can only 
compare one engine to another if you've used the same gauge on both
