Question
What should the compression be on a 5 hp Briggs & Stratton? Model # 130902  Type 0138-01   Code 6806047

Thanks, Rich

Answer
Hello Rich:

The Minimum Compression is 80psi. Usually on a Rebuilt Engine the Compression is 125 - 130psi. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Have a Happy Holiday Season and May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck
