hi everyone I recently checked all my saws with a compression gauge.   Seems a new or rebuild is around 150 to 160 psi.   One work saw I use a lot was 140 pounds .  Just wondering how low do you guys let them go .?  Some people say don't pay attention to it so I figured I'd ask  :)

Below about 90 youll have trouble getting a saw running in my experience.  When the weight of the saw reels out the starter rope.

cannot remember my huskies and this post of yours gave me a great starting block for my ones.

Couple of things to consider .Static compression is what you measure with a compression gauge by just pulling the saw over a few times .Dynamic compression ,under running conditions will be much higher .
In my opinion 140-150 PSI static is not a problem ,100 probably is .
