Default RE: Compression Testing a 50cc engine ?

120 lbs is a very good value and is used by some mfg's as a new engine standard. one way to tell if your not getting the compression is if you have to use an electric starter to spin the engine faster. loss of compresion=look for cyl.head gasket leaks.loose spark plug.front seal leak or any gasgit that is used on the crankcase.
