• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Compression readings - TE610

I have a friend with a 2006 610. Started easily prior to washing with a powerwasher. Now nothing. Another friend removed the plug because there was water in the well. He doesn't knoiw if water went into the cylinder or not. One way or the other - no starty.

I'd like to start with simple troubleshooting - gas, spark, compression.

A quick look showed a weak (yellow) spark at the plug. Replacement of the plug yielded the same result. I was hoping for blue but at least there's a spark. Where do I test the coil output and what should I measure?

We drained the gas out of the tank and float bowl so I don't think that's an issue.

Like to do a compression test. I know the readings are funky due to the auto compression release. Still there must be a "must see at least xxxx psi with throttle wide open" number. He doesn't have a manual and I've been unable to find a number for him. Anybody have that number handy?

My worst fear is that water went into the cylinder when they removed the plug and subsequent cranking bent a valve stem.

Lil help?
 
I woudln't worry to much aobut a bent valve from water in the cylinder. If you hydroloc an engine you may do all kinds of damage like blown head gasket, strecthed cylinder studs, boken piston or even a bent crank but bending a valve is the least likely senario.
