Got my 20 running yesterday,it hadn't been run in 10-12 yrs.After running about 10 mins.the compression was 55-30-35-60,front to rear.Have started it several times today and got it good and warm.Compression is now aprox. 60-65 on all cylinders.I set valves at .015" while it was warm.Will fine tune that later.No noticeable smoke from exhaust and plugs looked OK.Don't remember seeing in manual what compression should be.Not sure how hard I'll work this tractor if I do.Seems to run better the more I run it.Maybe put more time on it and see if compression comes up more?It starts up fine.
