Not sure what your engine's compression is telling you?
A compression test is one of the fastest ways to find out whether a small engine is worth fixing before you spend money chasing a fuel or ignition problem that was never the real issue. Compression tells you how well the piston, rings, valves, and gaskets are sealing the combustion chamber — and a weak seal there means spark and fuel can't do their job no matter how good they are.
