Meh, that little difference could be a lot of things.
Okay either way this is with choke off and WOT
Replacing the handle is a serious amount of work. I really want to verify compression. If this compression tester isn't the right one, then what do you guys use?
I just got a Strandix 1023 that is pretty much identical to the 125 dollar unit Echo used to sell to dealers for 1/3 the money.Okay either way this is with choke off and WOT

The adapter on the end of the hose is effectively adding volume to the cylinder that you are trying to measure lowering the reading.If so, why does it read accurately when tested with my air compressor (the compressor has two quality, matching gauges dead at 125psi with a good 25’ hose). Also, what can I do to fix it? If there’s some underlying issue with the 290 I don’t want to spent money and a lot of time swapping the rear handle
Pull the muffler and look at the piston... If it looks good (no scoring) then run it!Okay either way this is with choke off and WOT

Thx, I just ordered one from ebayI just got a Strandix 1023 that is pretty much identical to the 125 dollar unit Echo used to sell to dealers for 1/3 the money.

Yep I posted pics in the 2nd post to the thread. Piston is beautifulPull the muffler and look at the piston... If it looks good (no scoring) then run it!
If the valve is at the end of the hose that adapter adds a bunch of volume.Looks too short right,this would reduce the compression. You need a different setup the threads should be the exact same length as the plug threads.

Thats a solid number. Youll like the strandix, very easy to use.Update - the stradix from ebay gave me 152psi. So it was that tester with the long hose without the valve on the threaded end of the hose causing my bad readings. Thx all
