I did a compression test on my 49 8N converted to 12v That I've owned for the last 29yrs. Tested with throttle wide open and breather tube disconnected here are is what I got.
dry wet
#4-75 80
#3-80 95
#2-70 80
#1-85 95
I was expecting better numbers because it starts up easy without using choke, has good power, uses very little oil ( probably leaks more out of governor arms than it burns ). I'm not planning on doing anything to it just wanted to get some of you 8N gurus thoughts on these numbers. I just bought this $20 compression tester on Ebay and maybe it's not accurate.
