I am diagnosing an old Echo GTR-200R Curved Shaft Trimmer for my neighbor.
I grabbed my compression tester, and I'll be darned if it doesn't seem to be hitting the top of the cylinder when it is screwed in all the way. So I grabbed a different compression tester, and same thing.
Is there a different (shorter) threaded piece I need for these smaller 2-stroke engines? Or maybe a different compression tester kit that might have it?
See photos for my current compression testers. One is an older generic, and the other is a new Lisle.
Thanks,
Chris
