Hi Everyone

I'm wondering if anyone can clarify for me what healthy compression values would be for this motor? It was tested today and all four read just a bit under 100. Is this reasonable for this particular model? Was there any spec values ever published in any of the service manuals?

I've read a number of posts on here and it seems these numbers are good. However, the individual who performed the test mentioned that these figures were quite low and indicated that the motor was no good.

I've never run the motor and the person I bought if off of a couple years ago mentioned it had been sitting for a very, very long time.

Model number is 75493D.

Thanks in advance

The compression #'s don't sound bad. When you get it running, do a good de-carb on it.
