<<This is a standard differential compression test: set 80 psi on the first
(helps to have a regulator) and the second gives you an indication of leaks
in the system at TDC: rule of thumb is that 60/80 is minimum -although some
engines (big continentals ) regularly show as little as 45/80 and are OK.
Healthy engines are in the 70+/80 bracket.>>

Sorry Miles, I am not with it yet.  We simple electronic engineers need a
"circuit diagram" ! How are the "first" ,"second", and the orifice wired up ?
