Default RE: Engine compression..How much?

Open the carb wide open and keep pulling on the pull start until it doesn't go up anymore. It should read somewhere around 120 un-modified to run properly. Lapped .015" it will read somewhere ~150 plus. You may need a new piston ring and a piston if it is worn.
