So I picked up a 1987 Force 85hp for $200. I has 115psi in the top 2 cylinders and 40psi in the bottom one. I put a new head gasket on hoping that was my issue, but still the same readings. I am wondering what the next step is on this motor? The pistons look nice, and the cylinder walls all look clean and smooth, so i am not sure what would cause low compression in one cylinder.
Is the powerhead worth rebuilding? how good are these motors? just trying to figure out the best options here.
thanks.
