just did a compression test


I had choke all the way out, ...throttle wide open.

Did anybody catch this?
FC you do not want the choke pulled out, you want it off, as in no choke, knob pushed in.
The idea is to get as much air as possible, unobstructed, into the engine for the pistons to compress. So the best reading would be obtained if the carbs were completely removed.
Hope that was the solution.
