Hello all,
I have a new-to-me 2004 25 hp 2 stroke Mercury engine that seems to start and run well. During a cold engine compression test, the cylinders both hit exactly the same at 100lbs. My question is: What should the compression number be? This engine is very clean with very minimal use.
My older 1982 18 hp hits 150 lbs in both, but it is a real pig to manually start.
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Sailor John
