remove plug, use a compresion gauge or put your finger over plug hole, crank engine, if your finger feels like it was being sucked in and then blowen out , its fine, bad compression will give you very little suction, or blow out, could be valves are leaking also,
It is a part of the camshaft.
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
You don't repair compression rings you replace them.
any where from 120 lbs to 180 lbs
It needs at least 70 psi to run.
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.
Is the rumor true? Is Briggs Stratton going out of Business?? We were told not to by lawn mowers with the Briggs stratton motors.
90 to 120 minimum in 3 to 5 revolutions of the motor
No. It should be just past top.
Any thing above 130 lbs
Briggs doesn't publish engine compression specs, but 120 is good. 100 is okay. 80 is lousy.
At a Briggs and stratton dealer.
