milano compression test



Hi Octavian and Digest,

To do a compressioni (sic) test, don't turn on the ignition, just
use a jumper to trigger the starter solenoid.  On the milano,
the most convenient place is the plastic connection block on the
firewall above the starter (passenger side on LHD models).  The 
spade plug connector side is for the solenoid triggering circuit
and the bolt connector side is hot from the battery.

Beforehand, take all the spark plugs out, and hold open the throttle
while cranking.  This also works well for checking the valve clearances.

Cheers,
Neil
