Hi there, I have a lawnboy model 8480 ser# E104C0150 and there seems to be something wrong with the compression. Is this a common problem in this machine?

NO, good engine. Back flywheel up until you feel resistance (if any)(counter clockwise) flip it forward (clockwise) if it hits compression and rebounds, it has enough compression to run.
Other wise, no or low compression, could be stuck, worn out or broken rings. Scored cylinder wall.
Need more detail than "seems to be something wrong - - )
