KLT 160 Kawasaki compression ?

[trader]

What should my compression test read out in lbs. so I know for sure it needs redone? Cruising this trike out in the woods. Had been out there a few hours and hit a big puddle. Trike has not started since and feels like week compression. Not quite sure what has happened. Any help is greatly appreciated. Anthony n NC

It should have at least 115 psi to be able to run. The old fashoned way was to remove the plug and press your finger over the spark plug hole fairly hard, and have someone else pull it over. It the pressure shoots your finger off then you have good compression. I dont know how true this really is, but it may be somewhat accurate if you dont have a compression tester.
