No Darling, we prefer the compression on the second cylinder to be at least 2 1/2 times as strong as on the firstOriginally posted by Kitten Tooth View Post
Compression should be roughly the same on both. Much less than 90 psi won't work very well, and they should be roughly within 10% of each other.
But a much better measure is a leakdown test. Anything over 4% and you have a nice garden ornament
