It does make quite difference to starting and running though to have them spot on. Also balancing the carbs makes a difference and again is a royal pita to do. Druid [1] Although doesn't need cams out like the SV as its shim over bucket.

I didn't think about the compression test.
That would be why there is no compression if it's not turning over :S I really don't think I should let them keep my bike. They want to charge me £50 to tell me i need a new piston.. |

Dave I think they're pulling your p*sser.
You screw the tester into a plug-hole, hold the throttle wide open and crank it.

Dave, get your bike back off them, they sound a bit un-clever TBH. Can you get your bike to spannerman? I know he has a fair bit of experiance with those little V4's.
good luck, i hope the engine is ok and its something simpler, keep us updated ![]() |

So they charged the battery and ran a compression test. Ask for what the values were on all pots. And if they had the throttle open when they ran test

Battery directly to the starter, if it has starting issues.
Need to do it twice if low with and without oil in the bore, as above throttle must be fully open. |

How hard is it to rebuild an engine given unlimited time and funds?

good call, you wouldnt expect there to be no compression on any of the 4 cylinders, unless you had just the most aweful luck in the world
