Blown motor? 60&80 compression #s

Pull the egi fuse, add oil, crank a few times, pull all spark plugs, retry compression check. This eliminates a fuel "washing" possibility.

Probably time for a rebuild though.

And have someone hold the throttle open while doing the test.

Did you hold the bleed button open on the compression tester so that the needle bounces with every pulse? You should have 3 compression numbers per rotor.
