115 PSI is standard. 80% for low limit and 130% for high limit. Squirt a little 2 stroke oil in the spark plug hole and turn the engine a couple of times to spread the oil around. You might have "washed" the cylinder down. Taking the carb off you can inspect the piston and rings. Also look in the cylinder with the spark plug out. Any scoring or scratches means trouble and loss of compression. Don't forget to inspect the spark arrestor screen and exhaust port for excessive carbon buildup. Good luck.
