30 PSI of what??

if your talking about compression thats WAY WAY to low....but if you have a auto decompressor on it ( it probably does ) you can't check the compression.

do you have spark? is your timming ok? Is your carbed plugged? kill switch are working? valves are set properly? Jetting is good?

it can be ALOT of things that cause a motor not to start

what do you mean by a motorcycle comp?

I know most engine just like 180PSI + ....30 won't do it.

So, you do have it cranking, but it only reads 30 psi, right? And this is with the throttle WIDE open during the compression test, right? I would check Honda's recommended setting on the auto-decompressor. 30 psi seems really low. I set mine to about 70 psi, but that's on a 450.

I think a good ballpark would be in the 50 psi range if the auto-decompressor is adjustable (which I don't know).

yeah with the auto decompressor, you won't get even close to 170psi, maybe you have a bent valve?
