Hello,
My friends boat was ran last weekend on a 5 gal tank of straight gas that was not mixed with oil. The guy running the boat said that the engine started running rough and he took it back to the dock. That is when he fessed up that he did not mix the gas with oil.
I did a compression test and 3 of the 4 cylinders have about 110-115 of compression, and one of them has no compression.
The engine is a 1978 Johnson 85HP V4 magna sea-horse (model # 85ML78C)
Can this be fixed? And if so, what are the next steps?
