I should note that this figure is at operating temp, and doesn't give a minimum...just 80 psi.Thank you very much.
Thank you for your help. My 700 is not wanting to start which may be ignition issue but it’s running higher than 80 psi. It’s testing at 110psi. I’ve checked the valve clearances and they’re good. I Shop manual says that if it is running high compression it could possibly be a broken or worn out decompression system. So far two Honda shops and Rocky Mountain Atv have no idea what parts I could replace on the decompression system to correct the problem of high compression.I should note that this figure is at operating temp, and doesn't give a minimum...just 80 psi.
Also, some Facebook mechanics will balk at 80 ad say its too low, but the machine has a decompression device to aid starting, and thats why the figure seems pretty low.
Did you ever figure out anything else?Thank you for your help. My 700 is not wanting to start which may be ignition issue but it’s running higher than 80 psi. It’s testing at 110psi.

I should add that this rig has 12,000 miles on it and the engine was completely rebuilt last year.
