wee little compression

[FilthyLuka]

hey

Our generator at work stopped working 'cause its a facist. Fourstroke 50cc thing,

Anyway, i cleaned up the plug and made sure it had spark, still nothing, checked carb, still nothing. Hmm, did a compression test and it says about 3.5 bar... Whats the correct rating for a little engine like this?

Cheers

3.5 bar is about 52psi...
sounds a bit low

Pull the muffler check for piston damage,sounds like straight fuel may have been used

[FilthyLuka]

straight fuel was used, seeing as its a four stroke and all. Cheers for the idea though

As you know the static test without knowing the norm is a bit of a head scratcher. Does sound low but it is a genny too. Does it leak down?
