Doosan (& Daewoo) G25S:
Engine Compression

This is a 1994 model with the cat engine. Does not have a lot of power and is getting weaker. I put on a new LPG carb ,propane filter and converter. No help. Checked compression and it is 125 on 3 cylinders and 145 on 1.

low power?
might want to check valve clearances too
Exhaust:.025in (0.64mm)
Intake:.015in (0.38mm)

i could not find a cylinder compression figure
the book just has a cylinder leak test and says that all compression between cylinders should not vary more than 20%. I'm sure its in some obscure corner of a section in there...i just didn't see it.

There also was a large section on how to adjust the fuel system which could also cause low power situations.

a 'larger-ish' vac. line from the valve cover to the intake.

replaced the PCV valve yet? if you have so much blow-by that the oil fill cap has blown off, you are without a doubt also forcing oil out the seals including the front and rear main seals. either your piston rings are so worn out that you are scaring the cylinder walls, or your not recirculating the air that is in the crankcase. while the 1 cylinder is a lot lower than the other 3, I would not really expect that to be where your lack of power problem is, more likely the lack of vacuum through the PCV valve circuit, and the leak of vac through the air intake where the pcv should be hooked up.
when you say "the governor is working", can you describe a little more how you know it is working correctly?

If the governor is broken, then even if the carb's throttle plate is open the governor's my not be causing low power.

I will have to get the serial #. It is a G25s. Hours? good question, meter broke years ago. It is the original engine in a 20 year old machine.
