Default Poulan 42/46 compression figures/values?

Hello All,

I have a Poulan 46 (at least I think its a Poulan 46), that turns aa JXF 20X10 prop at 5850 rpm. This is pretty slow.

I have noticed that when I turn this engine over by hand the compression seems really low.... especially when I compare this engine to my Brison 3.2

Could my poor performance from the poulan 46 be the direct result of poor compression?

Could someone please post some cylinder compression figues.... I'd like to know if my compression is abnormally low

Cheers,

Marcus
