Default RE: 25cc homelite compression

There's nothing wrong with 90 lbs dynamic compression.

Full size airplane internal combustion engines are measured by the leak-down-rate. With the piston at top dead center, a certain air pressure is applied to the cylinder through an orifice and the rate at which the pressure bleeds off is noted on a second gauge.
