Some where I saw someone running 240psi compression in a WD45, isn’t that a bit too much.

My D-17 puller had 300 psi. It required 114 octane fuel.  240 psi works well with 110 octane.

300psi wow, surprised we're talking octane and not cetane at those numbers LOL

Sure it'd run somewhat OK on diesel with 300psi, must be a real ripper on gas when she gets on song!

Wow for sure! How did you get them to turn over when starting?

My local alternator/generator/starter shop (which there are very few left these days) installed some stronger field windings on my D-17 engine, which was already 12 volts. I used an 880 CCA battery and welding cable for my battery cables. My WD was just a stock 6V Delco starter with a center bearing in it, and again an 880 CCA batt and welding cables.

Thank you. Very interesting thread. I did not know you could get that much compression in a gasser. 😀😀
