I have been struggling with my 73 for months now and just for the hell of it I borrowed a compression tester from a local auto parts store
Dry Right cyl 92 psi left 89
Wet Right cy 117 left 119
When I did the test I didn't know you need to have the throttle wide open
So the dry test might be skewed because I didn't have the throttle wide open but the wet test did have the throttle wide open
And the shop manual said just give it 5 or 6 kicks On both test I used the electric start on the right side and of course having the decompression lever there on the left I had to kick the shit out of it until the needle stopped rising
Parts bike?
