i went and bought a tester and my blaster got less than 25 psi and my 4.0 hp lawn mower got more than 75 i kicked it down hard and it was on rite and every thing and is there something i didnt do its less than 25
 
Did you make sure it was sealed right?? I think you only kicked it once, you have to keep kicking it till the neddle stops and thats your correct compression. If you did it right, then that cylinder is f*cked up lol
 
i kicked like fouty times and all it got was to 30 psi ,when ibought it from the owner he said that the piston blew becouse they didnt mix the gas and they told him that the cylinder didnt have to be bored so he just installed a new piston and worked until thanksgivung day and i got it like three months ago and only been rhode like thrity hours since i bhought and he didnt use it very much. could that be the problem????
 
first things first take the top end off and inspect it.......and go from there....most likely you need to bore up one size and get a new piston kit....your looking at around 250 bucks for a top end rebuild...that includes piston kit bore and gasket set....take it apart and post up some pics.....
