Again thank you Bob
There is no compression test result for Victa engines.
There is no compression test result for Briggs and Stratton engines.
Rolf well just call me a Dill
no wonder I couldn't find any info on that Bob and actually later I found a post by Grumpy I think who mention that on B&S..(someone did anyway) ..humm maybe it was in the manual or their site..anyway somewhere
Actually the manual Gergory's 55/87 (early Engine types page 9)says stick a bit of fuel line on decompresser gently suck to close valve and and then test by disconnecting spark plug, opening throttle put mower on side rotate engine shaft by rotating blade holder, in each revolution you should have two points where resistance or compression is felt..(one higher, one lower) Summarizing it
They give no values thought..just say more or less
you'll figure it out by empirical methods.... trial and error
meaning you'll get use to knowing good from bad..:)
Experience being the best teacher I suppose..which is true enough
Thank you for your method too, I'll add it to the book
it was Just in regard to the other post linked in the above
yeah the CJ8 I guess is just to make sure you got a
"closed valve" scenario as in air tight seal
I'll reply as to why on the other post as this was just more a separate question as in "how to do it"..
Cheers, much appreciated
