Homelite 7-29 compression (if you got one, please post your result!)

Mine's got 130 psi, last time I checked with throttle wide open. I have no idea if this is within the acceptable range for this saw, but it runs.

This is my 1100XP running over in Indiana years ago with 1/2 chisel.

It had 90 PSI compression.

Good to know Bill. Thanks for your input! Although I heard Homelite didn't publish the compression ratings for chain saws back in the 1950's. I suppose it just wasn't important back then. Not sure.
