My 450 started right up on the first kick too and it idled great. Unfortunately it didn't run very well with only 60 psi in one and 130 psi in the other. I did not have good luck using the electric started when checking compression. Try kicking it over about 5 or 6 times and see if there is a difference.WOZERD said:Just what I need-- more money for a new guage. On the bright side-- it's cheaper than a rebuild X 3!tbpmusic said:

Typically, yes, they can be if they are cleaned correctly and have not been abused/damaged. A little brake cleaner and a towel will not necessarily do the trick though. As always, the correct tool is always helpful. I picked up this handy dandy spark plug cleaner many moons ago when I used to race two strokes (MX and Desert mostly). It's a sand blaster and air blaster in one. The bag contains the media and you put the lever in blast. Hooked up to an air compressor you pull the trigger and move the plug around on the rubber seal. After a few seconds of blasting, you throw the lever to air only and blow away the grit. It actually works pretty well but, with today's engines, I haven't pulled it out of it's hiding place in many years.kdan311 said:
