Leaf Blower, 60 PSI, Gas coming out air filter
I was given a non running Pulan pro leaf blower. It has a wierd grinding or chaffing sound, at best 60 psi, and the air filter gets half soaked with gas. Does this mean I have a bad valve?

60 PSI on a compression test??? 2 or 4 stroke?? is the grinding sound from the blower or the engine??? If it's a 2 stroke I think I'd pull the muffler off & have a look @ the piston & cylinder... Maybe post a Model & serial #,, but if that IS a compression reading you posted,, it sounds like problems,, (piston,, Cylinder, Etc) Sorry,,,, Roger

I took off the top, and the cylinder and piston ring were in great shape. Anywhere else I can be losing compression? I can barley get over 60PSI. This leaf blower looks brand new. I doubt its the head gasket. The grinding did sound like the blower. Thanks for the reccomendation.
