Got a compression testor??
Got a compression testor??
Get a compression guage with a Schrader valve right at the tip. If id doen't have one, you can't use it. The reading will be way low. Screw it into the sparkplug hole. Ensure that the decompression valve is shut. Pull the rope until the guage goes no higher, often at least 5 pulls.

Thanks Brad. That's how I thought it was done. Just wanted to make sure I was doing it correct on a 2 cycle. The 064 reads #152. What do you think?

152? Throw the gauge away... cut wood.:greenchainsaw:
Maybe the gauge can be reused on another saw. I've heard that is tha case.........:greenchainsaw:
Just clean out that carbon in the exhaust port if you can. Take care not to get it in the engine or scrape the piston.

Urban legend... just pull until it doesn't rise and more.
