I have this craftsman machine with a starting issue. Presents as a dead battery but I've narrowed it down to a bad starter or compression release.
When I jump straight to the post and housing of the starter with a good battery, it behaves the same.
I adjusted the valves to spec and there is a slight bump on the intake. But I'm struggling to tell if it's adequate. My gut tells me that it's not.
My limited experience with busted compression releases has been complete failure with no bump. Do these failures ever present with an inadequate bump? Is there a spec for the rod travel on the bump?
Thank you
