Could the acr cause your Tecumseh ohv17 to not have any cylinder compression?

Yes, a malfunctioning Automatic Compression Release (ACR) could potentially cause a Tecumseh OHV17 engine to have low or no cylinder compression. The ACR is designed to relieve compression during starting to make it easier to crank the engine, but if it fails to close properly, it can prevent the necessary compression from building up in the cylinder. Additionally, other factors such as worn piston rings, a blown head gasket, or a damaged valve could also contribute to low compression.
