I took my rough running Echo to local shop. After a few days they call to tell me it's not worth fixing. Compression is low, cylinder scored.
I already bought a new larger Still and I'm very happy with it. But I decide to check the compression myself. I get just under 90. Not knowing what it should be I add a few drops of 2-cycle oil and test again. Same reading.
So I put everything back together and am thinking of:
A. Spraying some carb cleaner in to see if that does anything.
B. Buy carb kit and dip carb - I have dip can already - and dip carb.
Anybody know if 90 is a good number for compression? I'm assuming these little engines don't have a compression release to worry about when taking reading.
Thanks!
