compression

i have a quick question about testing the motor for compression when i turn the motor over do i have to step on the gas pedal & clutch or just the clutch?
because i tried both ways & i got two different readings just wanted to know which one was correct.


stepping on the gas & clutch


just clutch


gas & clutch


clutch

Yeah, just in the wrong section of the forums. This should probably be in the 2nd Generation Technical section. However, this West section is basically the cool version of the Lounge, so nearly anything goes
