[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 449972, member: 22139"] Compression is best taken on a warm engine which isn’t always possible. Most compression gauges are automotive and even the cheap ones are pretty accurate on most engines. My personal experience has been that once you get to 100cc or less per hole, they start to read under. Especially on piston port 2 strokes (I fiddle with chainsaws fairly regularly) . A little mix squirted into the cyl will help seal the rings and pull it over like a madman. The number isn’t as important as consistent numbers between the cyls.
