[QUOTE="tel, post: 130301, member: 179"] Good news. Got the FJR back today and she seems to be running just fine. I'll take her for a longer jaunt this weekend. So why wouldn't it start? I hear you say. Not sure the dealer knows either, but this is what they did. They said compression was down on ALL cylinders, way down on one?? Said they dropped a bit of oil in each cylinder and whambo she started up. So, I say, did she seize up? (Not what I wanted to hear.) Dunno! Maybe. So, like strip the motor down and, like, have a look?? Why bother? She seem ok now. So, like, if she seized she'll be using oil from now on, right? Could be! You got AAA right? Yep! But... Hmmm.... I'll see you guys in Reno, I hope. :D If anybody has any other ideas what might have happened I'm real interested. tel [/QUOTE]
