Forgive my ignorance
But would the starter motor not affect the compression test results irrespective of a healthy/fully charged battery? And I have experienced such a thing. When my land rover didn't like to start it would crank and crank and crank and then eventually fire. I got to a point where I wanted to ensure it wasn't low battery voltage so I actually had a trickle charger hooked up to it every night. Then I was doing some research as to things that affect it and based on that I replaced the starter with and OEM DENSO. Trust me the difference was night and day. I wish I had a video. Since diesel utilize compression to run - the initial ignition is crucial and the starter motor plays an outsized role. I am wondering if that is the case for compression tests too? Even with the battery full charged my original starter motor did not crank the engine as quickly as the replacement. I never did a before/after compression test but that is my thought process - again could be wrong. |

My starter motor runs my engine 250 rpm with the injectors in place, which is the required specifications
