Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): compression, compression release, good luck

Question
what should the compression be for a 16 hp aposing twin B&S

Answer
 Hello Sheldon:

 The Lowest Compression is 90psi. The OEM Says to Turn the Engine in Reverse Rotation and if there is KICK BACK the Compression is Good. I Remove the Valves and Install Special Valves I have Designed to Test Compression on the Newer Engines that have the Compression Release System(Easy Spin Start Ext.). Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
