Since they have a compression release, it is a bit difficult to get an accurate reading...you must get to +_350 rpms. if your starter is in good shape, attach jumper cables from your car to your battery which will provide the amps to spin it fast enough for the compression release to...release. To get to the point...if the engine is spinning at less than 350 rpms it should read 60-90. over 350...75 - 110. Another option to get an accurate reading is to turn the engine backwards. This will take the compression release out of the picture. You can do this by making use of a drill with a socket driver and attach it to the flywheel nut and turn the engine in the opposite direction, usually counter clockwise, through 10 or so compression strokes...compression should be between 80 and 110. Hope the helps

In mph how fast will a 12hp engine go?
The speed of a 12hp engine in mph depends on various factors such as the weight of the vehicle, the gear ratio, and the aerodynamics. Generally, a 12hp engine can propel a small vehicle like a go-kart or a lawnmower to speeds ranging from 20-40 mph. However, for a more accurate estimation, a specific vehicle and its characteristics would need to be considered.
What is the compression of a 12 hp Kohler motor?
The compression ratio of a Kohler 12hp motor varies depending on the specific model and design. It can typically range from 9:1 to 10:1, meaning that the volume in the combustion chamber is compressed to roughly 1/9th to 1/10th of its original volume before ignition. This compression ratio helps improve the engine's efficiency and power output.
How do you adjust carb Briggs and stratton 12hp?
If the engine starts: Let the engine warm up for about 5 minutes and S-L-O-W-L-Y close the needle valve (rotate clockwise) until the engine starts to stall for lack of fuel. Then open the needle valve (rotate counter clockwise) until the engine starts to stall because of too much fuel. Set to half-way between the two extremes. If the engine doesn't start: Close the needle valve by screwing it in clockwise just to a point where you feel it stop - DO NOT FORCE IT!! or you will ruin the tip. Open the needle valve about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns. This should be okay to start the engine and then follow the procedure above. If the engine hesitates under a load, open the needle valve about 1/8 turn for a slightly richer mixture. This is the basic standard procedure with nearly all Briggs motors.
