120 psi
a diesel engine uses compression and has no need of spark plugs
The spark plugs on a 1988 model, 70hp Johnson outboard, should be gapped to .030in.
To test cylinder compression on a diesel engine, the glow plugs or injectors should be removed. This allows access to the combustion chamber for the compression test gauge. Removing these components ensures that the engine can turn over freely without interference during the test.
Should be near 100 psi with all plugs out, throttle open, and a fully charged battery.
You distributor cap and rotor should also be replaced. If still no spark. check the compression on the low cylinders to see if you have good compression.
NO, fuel is ignited by compression.
Do a compression test Make sure battery is fully charged Remove all spark plugs Lock throttle fully open Check each cylinder Highest should be within 10% of lowest
Run a compression check and examine the plugs while you're at it. If you see one or more plugs that are dark and wet, that cylinder isn't firing. If that cylinder also has low or no compression, it has a burned valve.
The stock compression ratio for a Suzuki QUV 620 is 10:3:1. Special spark plugs can increase that compression and the horsepower.
NGK BKR6E-11 are for the 4cyl mx6, they turn out to be the plugs for the ZE as well. These are colder than the DE plugs (NGK BKR5E), which is good in a higher compression engine. also, they are the correct length, where sometimes DE plugs can actually make contact with the piston (as it is taller and flat for high compression)
No, spark plugs do not cause ignition in diesels. The fuel compression causes ignition
diesel engines don't have spark plugs. they have very high compression cylinders that don't need the application of spark to fire, just compression of fuel and air.
