No just trying to get in on your good deal.

bear was right,i put a better compression tester (the screw in hose type)+compression read 75 that seams low w new piston,rings,honing.ill clean carb better.

u need to hold the throttle wide open when doing the compression test

Also after the first test, put a 1/2 teaspoon of 2 stroke oil in the spark plug hole, let sit for 10 minutes and do the test again. If the number comes up like 20 PSI this will tell if you have a real problem or the rings are just not seated yet.

i forgot to hold throttle open.i put regular oil in plughole+immidiatly cranked it+still 75 lbs.

so with throttle open and oil your getting 75?

no i never tested it wot it read 75 lbs. dry + wet with throttle closed.

Should have searched how to do a compression test. Its real easy to do and if you took the 15 minutes to search and read we wouldnt be discussing this right now

I "think" it is only about $2 for store brand carb cleaner at walmart.

then I highly doubt there is an issue here.... retest with throttle open, but dollars to donuts says your compression is 115-125 all day long which is a good thing

There is no way the compression will jump 35 to 50 PSI from the throttle being opened.

I miss spoke it won't be that high but Untill he retests we don't know what's going on at this point it could be a few different issues.....
