Cant tell ya what a fresh 700 has, but mine with close to 10,000kilometers is 126 across , checked the compression Saturday.If we dont get more snow soon, I am gonna do the top end for some preventative maintanence.

Gave her a test, actually had to do it twice because she is only showing 100 across all three!! That's with the engine warm and with it cold she showed 105. I was a little surprised cause it seems to run so well. Any thoughts. There's less than 5000 kms on the machine.

135 is a good cold and new perssure for a stocker
Checked mine before I had ever started it, and it was 133 at 5500 mi

I agree with daman, I had a Matco gauge that was reading incorrectly (low)

checked it again with a different adapter and got about 126 across all three warm. That's better!! I asssume the adapter was the problem. I checked the gauge with my compressor and it was right on.
Thanks for the information guys....
