I'd say 125psi isnt that bad.
My SX ( same engine) has 120psi and runs like a top.
Have problems with your engine?

Dont know if it has any problems yet? I bought it as a project and was just doing some preliminary tests. It starts with starting fluid, I'm waiting on a new tank and petcock and then I'll see how it runs
