Re: compression test results

I'd say it is tired.  To me that is just not enough compression.  It they were 
within 5 pds is would run pretty good.  Just not a lot of pulling power.

Thanks.I don't know how many miles on that engine. The odometer is about 66,000 
if I recall. Could be 166,000 or 266,00 for all I know. :) Old and tired I 
guess.

The engine did not blow blue smoke when running though, if that helps. 

Thanks,
Gary H.
