How do you check if there is a compression problem on a 6.5 hp Briggs and stratton What are the symptoms of bad compression?

briggs doesn't offer compression ratings for their engines. I will usually pull it 3 to 5 times and look for 90 to 120. anything less is a problem and if it doesn't hold compression there is a problem

It is a part of the camshaft.

You don't repair compression rings you replace them.

Briggs and Stratton does not release specific compression values. Anything above 120 psi should be just fine, around 90-100 and you're most likely due for a rebuild. A better test is a leakdown test, with can help in determining where compression is being lost.

any where from 120 lbs to 180 lbs

It needs at least 70 psi to run.

Briggs doesn't publish engine compression specs, but 120 is good. 100 is okay. 80 is lousy.

Any thing above 130 lbs

90 to 120 minimum in 3 to 5 revolutions of the motor

No. It should be just past top.

Is the rumor true? Is Briggs Stratton going out of Business?? We were told not to by lawn mowers with the Briggs stratton motors.

Yes, most all of the Briggs single cylinder engines are exchangable. You just need to be concerned to make sure that you don't under power your mower. In your case that is not a problem.

B&S does not specify compression readings. Look for 120, give or take 20. More important than actual compression is the difference between the 2 cylinders.
