Ok, I searched and found some stuff, but couldn't find a set way or proper way to test a compression release. I have a Husky 362 that tested 90 psi, but the ring gap is good on both the old ring and with the new one installed. Cylinder and piston look very good, no scoring on either. It runs good but lack a little power. I was thinking to spray soapy water around the compression release while its idling? That's the best way I could think to check it, and couldn't see it hurting anything. Or should I just spend the $10 and get one since I don't know of anything else it could be? Any ideas?
The tester, by the way, tested 160 on my 026, 155 on my 044, etc, etc. I believe it is testing correctly. Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Ben
