Hey again everyone! I recently posted about a Force 40 that wouldn't start and it ended up being the head gasket.... well I put a new head gasket on and it ran fine for a few months... the other day it started acting up again
.. it will start of you have the idle up but it shuts off as soon as thearly idle goes down... I did a compression test and the upper cylinder has 145 psi and do the lower has 40 psi... I haven't taken it apart yet but assuming it's the head gasket, why would the head gasket go so quickly? Incorrect installation? Defect in the head gasket? Anyone have any clue why it would do this? Thanks again in advance!
