I have a stock pa50I . I did a compression test and I got 25psi. So order a new piston,rings and gaskets. I put it back together with all the new stuff without the ring expander cause the piston wouldn't go into the cylinder with it on. I did another compression test and I'm getting 15psi. What could be the issue
Low compression pa50I
Re: Low compression pa50I
Maybe your compression tester ?
Re: Low compression pa50I
Pedal or drill start it for a while and see if compression climbs. Then I guess u need to assess the decomp. One easy way is to mix a bit of baby shampoo in a spray bottle and then spin engine and see if soap bubbles form at the site of a leak which could be the head gasket, a warped head, I guess wrong rings , decomp valve.

There is two position two put the piston in and also make sure the ring’s slot are not facing the wrong way as well. Do a goggle on you tube you will see. Just did this one. 1982
