Common Cause of Low Compression in 2 Stroke Engines
The role of compression
Good compression is an essential component for any engine to run properly. To understand how compression works in an engine, let’s break down the basics. Firstly, your engine is a pressurized system. Inside this system, a mixture of fuel and air is combusted using that pressure. This combustion process creates the force that rotates the crankshaft, which in turn powers external parts like the head on your trimmer.
Signs of lost compression include decreased power or difficulty starting. But don’t worry, diagnosing the cause of compression loss is the first step to fixing the problem.
