    I’m no expert, but 60 could be an acceptable number. I met someone who said he started them by hand. Once they were set up properly, you put your palm on top of the flywheel, gave it a twist, and it was running. Probably couldn’t do that with 120 lbs compression.

    If 60 IS normal, that might explain why they are "a terrific 7.5 hp motor".
