so, i can't find this in any of the books: which i assume, i shouldn't be
able to..
1971 ambassador - 850 cc kit (bigger pistons, not crank change..) what kinda
compression should it have? mine runs good, but for the hell of it, i put a
tester on it, and it only read 75ish lbs for each cylinder.(cold motor)..i'm
used to 60's/70's jap bikes with compression of 150-175 per cylinder..isn't
75lbs awful low? if one of my other bikes had that little compression, it
would be blowing a fog of white smoke..
