Testing Compression on a 2002 Cannondale Cannibal

Doing some diagnostics on my Cannondale 440, checking compression and stator to try and get this thing up and running. The process is the same for a stock bore Cannondale of any model including the motorcycles. Check out Blackwidow ATV for parts and support.

Hi thanks for the video, great info. I picked up a cannibal 440 what looks like a 03 or 04 the guy that sold to me didnt knw the history. He had aquired the shop. Looking at it it w/ a black bucket with sone plastics, and a gear that was replaced from the timimg. He told me just set the timing and youre good to go. At least thats what i see.
How will i know the parts needed to be replaced have been? This quad has been riden

- ridden as like it been round the block but in good shape. Is it foolish to think previous owner handled everything?

What ended up being the problem?

[@CotterPinGarage]

Not sure, I sent the ecu and throttle body out to get double checked. I haven’t had the free time to put it back together.

​@@CotterPinGaragebe prepared for one or more cam lobes to be wiped.

@@wwilcox2726 it’s a fresh 0 hour build from BlackWidow.

@@CotterPinGarage are the cams OEM? If they are, then the exhaust cam is advanced. Or they've substituted/modified the decomp roller that bumps the valve bucket. Normal Cdale cranking compression is 70ish with stock cams. BTW the OEM cams were originally from Megacycle and offer very strong performance. Also the later cams, though not Megacycle were exact knockoffs of the originals, just cheaper from Italy.

@@wwilcox2726 it’s a 495, so no telling. I didn’t originally build the motor I bought the entire machine from a guy on the east coast.
