[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 395366, member: 13599"] Bob, If you want to test the compression of the powerhead, you use an air pressure gauge like this (from HF). [ATTACH type="full" alt="comp.tester.jpg"]78554._xfImport[/ATTACH] if you want to just test the coils to see if they have spark, Remove the spark plug, attach the plug wire cap to the plug, and, holding the spark plug in something that is insulated, glove, paper, etc, ground the base of the plug to the powerhead. Turn the engine over. There should be a strong blue spark at the electrode. But, a spark plug tester would be better. [ATTACH type="full" alt="tester.jpg"]78553._xfImport[/ATTACH] And it is good that you are doing your homework . . . nothing more aggravating than to get a new motor home only to find it has some serious issues.
