Re: 18 HP fastwin on E-bay

If possible, it would be nice to know compression numbers. I know this is pushing it for some eBay sellers who may not even know what compression means or come back with, "it’s perfect." The reason for asking compression, especially on the Fatwins and Fds, is that they will start, idle and run smooth as a watch with anemic compression. They just won’t have the speed they should. I have brought quite a lot of these guys back from the dead and have seen the difference. They are capable of 120, plus, psi compression but will seem to run great with 95.

Long live American manufacturing!
