theres 3 things that make a motor run ,spark,fuel and compression.either u dont have spark, your not getting fuel from tank to petcock or from petcock to carb or from carb to intake.i was thinking the compression had to be between 75 and 130 but not sure,someone on here will correct me :lol:

Compression at 80 is what it is......BAD. Some engines will run there while others will not. I've never seen one run a 60 and seen one that run at 70 but with a minimum spec or 114, 80 = bad. Pull the head. Oh and there is no spec that will tell you that 75 PSI is good.
