And this guy's a member of a local car board

Trying to sell a couple snowmobiles right now. one doesn't run, but has compression

I get this asked...

him Alright, I'll tell him and get back to you soon.. But about the compression thing, what exactly is getting checked???And how is the compresion made without the combustion of the mixture of fuel and air???I'm confused.....LOL

me Compression: Piston moves up. compressing the space between piston and cylinder head. ie compressed air. try it. go home pulling spark plug from your lawn mower. turn the crank by hand. with the plug out, zero compression. then cover the spark plug hole with a finger. turn the crank. you will feel it.

him .....LOL, kinda got the 2 mixed up.....LOL

I sure hope he doesn't wrench

Sounds like the kind of guy who'd try to look at the engine through the ignition key hole.

Hopefully he just has his terminology mixed up and is not a total idiot.

Bah who am I kidding.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he may be a novice home mechanic, still learning the basics.

Although, his continued use of 'LOL', like that in capitals, suggests he is indeed an idiot.

LOL!

Combustion and Compression are similar enough. On a foggy brain day, I'd be guilty of the same thing.

except he used both words in his reply.

LOL!11!!!1!!

lAUGHING oUT lOUD !1!!111!!!!1

I don't appreciate you posting our conversation on the internet for everyone to see and ridicule me LOL!!
