Steve you can't really check compression with a gauge on these small engines, you have the best solution. Here's the problem. The volume of the cylinder, especially in small stuff like trimmers and chain saws or 4 cycle GX25 and 35 Honda's, is that the ratio of air in the cylinder to the ratio in the line to the gauge and the gauge itself is way too high, if you get 50 or 60 lbs it's a lot, so don't waste time with gauges. The line and gauge are lowering the reading too much. If you've checked everything else, carbs, ignition, etc and you pull your engine apart just make sure you have good valves and rings and the cylinder walls are good and in specs. Thanks for the video.

Steve, Steve, Steve! I use a fisherman's scale to check compression. I grab the rope start with the scale hook and give it a tug, 8 to 10 pounds of pull to get it to turn over is a good start! Let me know what you get get on the Honda when you unstick the intake valve.

I love your videos and the no bs approach and the beer is always a plus. Having said that an internal combustion engine needs fuel, oxygen and spark to run. That is technically the correct statement. The compression is of course necessary but as an internal aspect of how the engine works there is not much end users with limited mechanical experience can do about it. No compression means a damaged cylinder, or piston compression rings or valve(s) not closing fully or all the above. And that means major overhaul of the engine which is beyond the expertise of most home DIYers. But fuel, oxygen and spark are things that can be readily verified and fixed without the need of special tools and knowledge. Thank you for your videos, very helpful !!!

Glad I came across this video. Been trying to figure out why my mower wont't start. I have tested and tried many things on the mower and just couldn't figure out what was wrong. Last thing is to check the compression by using your trick and wahlah, my mower has no compression at all. Worked on the OHV valves and now my mower is running fine. Thank you

I'm never going to be the guy that can completely rebuild an engine, but your videos have taught me all the things I have to look for. Bad gas, dirty air filter, spark plug, no compression, too much oil making smoke, or pinching off/removing the gas line to check/clean the carburetor... So like I said, I'm not the guy that can rebuild all this stuff, but now I'll never be the sucker that throws away a mower before it's been worked on. I've become "informed" in less than a week. Thanks.

Great job Steve, thank you for telling us Why, & not just how to fix something! The Why is the logic behind a mechanical device & is essential for learning & proper diagnosis of a machine. You confirmed my question & suspicion on the "Riding mower dirty little secret" video on the mower deck blade sealed bearings, the last time I replaced them. There were no grease fittings on those housings so I left the seals on. The bearings only lasted a year! I had just seen your "dirty secret" video in June 2019 when the bearings started growling again. This time I bought zerk grease fittings, tapped & installed them in the 2 housings & modified the seals as you described on the video. The cheap grease was so thin that compressed air easily blew it out! I repacked them with Mobile 1 synthetic grease, filled the housings with the same grease, thru the grease fitting & installed the top bearing. Now they will last longer. Thanks for sharing brother!

Steve - your channel is a lifesaver for novices like me. You save me so much money and educate me at the same time. You are the only channel I donate money to. Real quick - what should be the average compression if we do hook up gauges. (I bought the briggs and stratton motor book - and they only tell you to buy their leak kit) So now I need to know what the norm is.

I accidentally ran my briggs engine without any oil for a hour and when I topped it off with oil ran it for about 5 hours drained the oil it was a metallic silver color and it had bits of metal in it. Still good compression I'm shocked and it starts first pull and I didn't have to buy a compression tester. Steve your the man!

Steve, I have enjoyed your tutorials and use them to great affect in my own practice. I learned, early-on, that fuel, fire, and air are the three elements necessary for an internal combustion engine to run. This does not account for compression, which means that compression is the fourth element. I, personally, have adopted the four-element explanation...Fuel, Fire, Air, Compression. Thank you for the clarification and keep up the good work, brother.

Great tip on checking compression. I find that no compression on the newer Briggs engines is usually due to a failed plastic cam gear or slipping lobes. What the heck were they thinkin' when they did that? Eventually word gets out and nobody buys your products anymore!

"Houston, we have a problem." I need your advice. Just tried this test on my mower and while it isn't as bad off as the second mower in this video, it isn't nearly as good as your orange mower. In fact, I think it's exhibiting slightly better than "squishy stop" you described and does have a little bit of bounce-back. I already cleaned the valve stems and adjusted the valve lash to factory specs; they're cycling properly, so that isn't the problem. I also installed a brand new head gasket, so that isn't it. It ran for about 5 minutes yesterday and then started surging, getting slower and slower, then finally dying and I haven't been able to get it going again. After the brief run, I did open up the breather chamber under the blower housing to inspect the reed, which exhibited a bit of wear and will be replaced as soon as the new one arrives by mail. I have not re-sealed the chamber yet, but am not sure how much this would affect starting and compression. I recently installed new piston rings and suspect this is where the problem lies; when I got the new rings from Briggs & Stratton, one compression ring was completely missing the paint stripes it was supposed to have, according to the instructions, and the other had only a single pink stripe that was further over than the illustration indicated it should have been. I tried looking for the bevel, but couldn't see any and did not notice any marks or pips on the rings. So basically, I had to guess at the order the compression rings were supposed to be installed on the piston and I think I may have guessed wrong. Also, the top groove had tight spot in it, but that appears to be by design. The oil control rings on the bottom went on easily. I have a feeling I'm going to have to tear it down, pull the piston and redo the compression rings. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Been struggling getting this old lawn mower up and running. It was inactive for a long time. I have done the following: Replace gas tank and line, cleaned old carb and then replaced carb twice with new ones from Amazon, replaced air filter/prime bulb mount, gasket and filter, pull cord, control cable, spark plug, reset igniter gap, checked flywheel brake alignment. Pulled carb fuel bowl nut to make sure fuel is getting into bowl. It primes fine as far as I can tell, meaning if I look into the carb in can see gas coming into the carb. It only turns over for a couple seconds with starter fluid. Turned it on its side and I get no kick back when turning the blade. Put the compression tester on it and only got 60 psi and it's bleeding off.

So that’s all good is there a good test without a compression tester for lawn tractor with of course deck belts not engaged but pto in neutral not engaged of course ! I’m thinking pull flywheel cover off engine & turn by hand to feel the resistance when in compression stroke or what’s the trick if any ! Thanks Mark

Good one Steve, watched a video by Mustie yesterday on a nice electric start snapper he got free by the side of the road. The owner said it blew up? He took it to his shop pulled it apart and found a small bolt had got into the engine and put a gouge in the cylinder wall. No compression and just good for parts. He thinks the bolt may have fallin into the motor through the oil fill tube or was left in there from the factory. Cool interesting video and looking forward to seeing your tear down

Thanks brother I was in the process of trying to find a compression tester in all my junk when I saw this video. You just saved me a bunch of time I flipped her over and she has good comprehension so now I can just go on and find out what the problem is. Once again thank you bunches. I will open a beer in your honor 😜
