Long life!  Lower grade of gas.  Have you tried advancing your timing?  Try
running 5 BTDC instead of 5ATDC.

Subject:    engine compression ratio '84

In my manual it says my '84 has a compression ration
of 7.3:1.  This sounds really low.  What are the
reasons and/or benefits of such a low compression
engine?

Thanks,
Gregory Smith
