Comments on: My lawnmower wont start. It has no compression and makes a ticking noise about every time the blade turns? http://www.qualitylawnmower.com/blog/my-lawnmower-wont-start-it-has-no-compression-and-makes-a-ticking-noise-about-every-time-the-blade-turns/ Thu, 17 May 2012 16:01:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: The Outcast http://www.qualitylawnmower.com/blog/my-lawnmower-wont-start-it-has-no-compression-and-makes-a-ticking-noise-about-every-time-the-blade-turns/comment-page-1/#comment-2191 The Outcast Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:32:02 +0000 http://www.qualitylawnmower.com/blog/my-lawnmower-wont-start-it-has-no-compression-and-makes-a-ticking-noise-about-every-time-the-blade-turns/#comment-2191 If it really has no compression you have a choice of either getting an overhaul or buying a new mower. If the mower is an inexpensive one, replace it. An easy way to get an idea of whether it has compression or not is to remove the spark plug and hold the end of your thumb over the hole while pulling the starter. If you feel no, or little pressure on your thumb, it's decision time.<a href="http://www.fresh-coffee.com/coffee/gourmet-coffee.htm"> The Outcast</a> If it really has no compression you have a choice of either getting an overhaul or buying a new mower.

Either the valves or piston rings. Either of the two involves going into the engine. Chances are that it will be best long term to buy a new one. As cheap as they are now-days they are almost disposable yearly. A push mower from Wal-mart are as low as 100 bucks. At a repair shop you are looking at at least $40 / hour plus parts.<a href="http://www.ihearclear.com/consumer-report-hearing-aid.htm"> russbillen</a> No compression is one of two things.

You may check your spark plug, remove it, put your finger over the hole and pull. If still no compression then you may have internal damage. Last effort is to drain oil and look for metal flakes or pieces. If you do find some you may have blown your motor.<a href="http://www.chefcookingware.com/955"> GG</a> Ticking noise is not good.
