Hey guys, I'm looking at buying an 88 horse evinrude for 300. The guy doesn't know the year or much about it. He says it turns over fine when the plugs are out, but no when they are in... He has no idea if it's getting spark and it has no controls.
what could that be? I know it's hard to diagnose with so little info, but I was thinking it could be a compression issue.... or maybe just a starter rebuild... Does it sound like the motor is worth it? If I could get it running, how much would it be worth (I want to sell it... or maybe sell my chrysler and use this one) How could I try to get it running at his house? He said I can try to start it, but he has no controls..
TIA
Zak
