Re: Compression release

My issue is that I can’t use the electric start without a solenoid. So there is no way to accurately test compression. Plus I was hoping that an automotive solenoid might help me get the electric start working. But that seems like a bad idea as well by the sounds of it.

You can use jumper cables (minus to ground, plus to the starter).

The correct solenoids aren’t that expensive (multiple sources available). Do you have the original solenoid box? If not, you don’t need to worry as much about getting one that fits! If you do, what year is your engine?
