Clooney, I suppose that you mean the choke lever should be pushed in like normal operating condition and the throttle lever all the way foreward. One thing is...should the LP gas be turned on. Will this affect the PSI reading? I would imagine that the LP gas will expand faster and compress differently than the ambient air. Also, do you know if it is common in LP's for the exhaust valves to be leaky? Mine seems to "spit" sometimes and idles and runs somewhat inconsistantly. I have revamped the ignition and fuel delivery systems so I think that they can be somewhat ruled out. I have the sneaking suspision that the exhaust valves could be leaking and the hardened valve seats worn. The funny thing is...this 520LP has more power than a 530 gas that I had and it had 125psi in each cylinder. My 520 has 125 in the LH and 135 in the RH but seems to have plenty of power. It will take off in 6th gear, clutch properly adjusted, at idle speed and just go. I did however have the throttle at idle position and the fuel valve off when I tested compression. Please let me know your ideas as you get time. I understand how much mail you receive. Sometimes I envy you and then when I'm busy....pitty you. Thanks Always!
