I just got a little 5 hp Briggs-powered Atlas 16 5000 chipper in my hands, fixed it, and it runs great.
This is this first small engine I've fixed, besides many chainsaws, since I got a compression tester.
It tests at 80 tops, and I was wondering how this compared to typical chipper readings. It does run great, but if you had a saw that tested at 80, you wouldn't be doing much with it, so I'm interested in finding out the decent range of chipper compression readings.
Thanks in advance for any replies!
