hey guys, just wondering where can i buy a compresion test kit that will work with a magna, and wot Kpa am i look for ??

The manual lists 1200kPa @ 250-400rpm as a normal value, and 890kPa @ 250-400rpm as the lower limit. Any good parts shop will have one; make sure that it's got a long stem that'll reach the spark plug port.

Some have a rubber bung on the end which means you have to exert downward pressure on it while cranking the engine - a bit awkward if you are working by yourself! Try to get one with a screw on end, it winds into the plug hole, and has a one way check valve to retain the reading. That way you can screw it in, and crank the engine, then read the gauge. Haven't seen one for a Magna, but I know they come with adapters.

Let us know how you get on, I'd like one myself.

Most compression testers these days come with an assortment of different fittings to suit all makes and models, but it comes at a price.

As posted above you should be able to pick on up at most reputable parts stores e.g. autobarn, supercheap, repco etc...

ok kool cheers guys ill have a look tomorrow or friday and let yas know
