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.
No. It should be just past top.
90 to 120 minimum in 3 to 5 revolutions of the motor
Any thing above 130 lbs
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
Is the rumor true? Is Briggs Stratton going out of Business?? We were told not to by lawn mowers with the Briggs stratton motors.
At a Briggs and stratton dealer.
