    Hi,

    Does anybody know what the factory spec cylinder compression (PSI) for the following engine should be?

    1998 Piaggio Liberty 125cc 4 stroke pre-leader engine

    Thanks,

    Mark

    Thanks for the reply.

    You might be surprised to learn I have tried google and found nothing - well, I'm here in an attempt to avoid spending £20 on a haynes manual just to find out what my engine compression should be :)

    Cool, thanks!

    So 10.6 x 14.7 = 155.82.

    My engine is showing 155-160 on the compression tester after 5 seconds of cranking - so my engine compression is ok :) If my calculation is correct....

    I also did the timed time test;

    6:30 - I got 167 PSI
    7:30 - The tester was showing 160 PSI

    So it dropped by 7 PSI over an hour - is that good/bad?
