My Pittsburg compression tester from Harbor Freight has lied to me for the last time.
What kind do y'all use? Brand? Solutions?
I don't want to buy another bad one.
Thanks

I have one like this . It gets used several times a week for the past 15 years with no issues . Very accurate .
Lots of adapters .

Thank you! I went to auto zone and bought another one and it was cheap made, but compression went from 30psi on the Harbor Freight to 60 psi on the Auto Zone. Proving that my biggest problem is not the compression tester lol.
The bike will start and run on starter fluid so I am not sure either is right.

A leak down tester is your best friend when you’re trying to chase a compression problem on a 4 stroke.
