Default rickman 900

I am running a compression check on 75 rickman kawasaki 900 and just wondering if anyone can tell me what compression I should be reading on the gauge.Rright now it reads as follows #1 100psi #2 60psi #3 85psi #4 90psi. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Welcome to the forums....

I couldn't tell you the "factory specs" on that thing....But there is too much variance between cylinders. Especially number2. If all 4 cylinders were pounding out 100, I would say good enough. Did you do compression check wet or dry? Have you down a leak down test? Have you checked timing? Valves?

Welcome to KF. As mentioned, 20 or more psig loss/difference is not good.
