Reply To: Compression Readings

The rings are already loose if it’s running. Compression should improve quite a bit with an hour or two of runtime as the rings loosen a bit more. Make sure you are using the recommended 2 stroke oil/gasoline mix. Because the motor hasn’t ran in years, a little extra oil in the first few hours won’t hurt. It sounds as though the motor may not even be broken in from the original owner.
