My brother-in-law to be just bought two 1997 skiis from a friend of his. Sorry, not exactly sure of the model but they have the 787 in them which I'm familiar with. I told him we needed to do a compression test to see what kind of life is left in these engines. One ski had a MAG psi of 150 which is great. The PTO barely registered 4-5psi. Before I got there he got it started and it ran fine although I thought it sounded strange to me when I heard it. The people he bought it from claimed it ran fine last summer. Is 4-5psi typical psi of a blown engine? My once seized engine was in the 50's. I would think with a psi that low it would be extremely hard to start and would not have run at all.
Thanks
