I don't recall right off what the recommended range of compression is for a 15hp Briggs, but 120lbs is certainly sufficient to start and run th engine. If its a 4 stroke it will be around 10.0:1 10-28-08 Right-o, 120 is great. Briggs no longer releases comp ranges, but states a minimum of 60 to run. Depending on model, that's probably a 7:1 or 7.5:1 engine. Briggs are designed w/low comp ratios for durability, resistance to detonation, and low fuel-grade requirements.

What is the compression of a 3hp Briggs and Stratton engine?
Briggs and Stratton does not release specific compression values. Anything above 120 psi should be just fine, around 90-100 and you're most likely due for a rebuild. A better test is a leakdown test, with can help in determining where compression is being lost.

What psi is required per cylinder?
Typically, for a standard internal combustion engine, the ideal compression pressure per cylinder is around 120-160 psi. This ensures proper engine operation and performance. It is important to consult the specific manufacturer's guidelines for your engine to determine the exact compression pressure required.
What is the cylinder compression for a 2003 90 hp mercury outboard?
I have a 2005 and compression should be close to 120 psi. Normally a good engine will have compression between 115 and 130 psi but a leak down test should be performed also to know the full condition of a cylinder.
What is the cylinder compression for a Honda fourtrax 300 ATV?
The cylinder compression for a Honda FourTrax 300 ATV is typically around 120 to 150 psi. This value can vary slightly based on the engine's condition and maintenance history. It's important to ensure that the compression is within this range for optimal engine performance. Regular checks can help maintain the ATV's efficiency and longevity.
How much compression is good on a briggs and stratton 17.5hp?
90 to 120 minimum in 3 to 5 revolutions of the motor
When does an engine need to be rebuilt?
The easiest answer is when it fails a compression test. Buy a compression tester (farily cheap), and test each cylinder. If one single cylinder is below 120 psi, or if one cylinder reads 15% less pressure than the cylinder with the highest pressure, your engine should be torn down and checked. The problem might only be in the heads, but it's still time for some serious work.
