May purchase used foreman, Help mechanically, compression etc...
Hi,
I may have a good chance to purchase a honda forman with 7k kms(approx. 4000 miles) on it, not sure if its a 400 or 450(450 i figure) Started up and ran kinda rough, tommorow I'd like to go test the compression with the tester I have for my snowmobile. 1.What is the compression of this machine stock from dealer? 2.What would be decent compression for a used one like this, what would be way too low? sounded like a little bit of rattle in it... i thought if the motor has good compression it could just be the valves, 3. Could it just be the valves. 4. If it is the motor how much would a motor job cost to have done(not at a dealer obviously) --- I may be able to get the machine for between 1 and 2000 dollars Cdn funds .... thanks in advance for all the help, any input or comments are appreciated.....
