    I never had until I tested this one today. It is a Snap-On gauge that has always been accurate and I tested it twice.

    :bug: Whoa!!! :bug: That's some strong compression from that little guy!!!o_O



    Those little saws are not bad runners. I won one in a raffle and gave it to my Uncle 2 years ago.

    Not quite that high. Did some carb work to my cousin's 235 once and when I checked the compression it was at 215 psi. I remember it because that was a tie for the highest I've ever seen on a dead stock saw. Believe it or not the other one was a Stihl 041.
