The BC490 trimmer has a compression ratio of 6.5:1. This means that the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder is compressed to 6.5 times its original volume before it is ignited.

The compression ratio of a two-stroke engine is important because it affects the power output and efficiency of the engine. A higher compression ratio will generally result in a more powerful engine, but it will also make the engine more difficult to start. A lower compression ratio will make the engine easier to start, but it will also result in less power output.

The BC490 trimmer is designed to have a balance of power and efficiency. The 6.5:1 compression ratio is a good compromise that will provide enough power for most trimming tasks without making the engine too difficult to start.
