    '77 85hp Evinrude - Whoops

    De-carbed engine last night on hose. Let her run 15 0r 20 minutes to burn up most of gallon of gas heavy with seafoam, sometimes rev'ed up 3/4 throttle. After I shut her down, I noticed the shaft was very hot. I could put my hand on it but barely. Did I damage anything :eek: or is this normal...

    Trying to iron out kinks. Compression test on warm engine w/ plugs out read 115 + or - 2lbs on all four cylinders. Spark test w/ inline tester shows good blue spark on 3 of 4 cylinders. No 3 ( I think - lower cyl on starboard side) gets no spark. Would this be coil for this cylinder? De-carbed...
