So, I have a really nice Matco compression tester for auto engines however it seems to read small engines low. I'm thinking that chainsaws and weedeaters dont really move enough air volume for accurate readings with an automotive tester. The long rubber hose between the gauge and the engine probably doesnt help. For example, my Echo GT-200R which runs awesome and really doesnt have that many hours blows 80. My Poulan BC2400 that I just rebuilt blows 60. This has always been typical, dont think ive ever seen a small engine with more than 100 on an auto gauge.
So, what is a really good compression tester for small engines, specifically under 100 cc?
