Thought I would check my compression on my mercruiser 140 yesterday. I got 60psi on both outer cylinders and absolutley nothing from the center two. I find this kind of unusual and thinking I am doing something wrong or missing something. Especially since the plugs all look fine as far as not silty. wouldn't it hardly run at all with no compression on 2 of the 4 cylinders? I have to use the rubber nozzle attachment for my compression guage since none of my threaded ones seem to thread on. Thought it was 14mm but doesn't seem to want to start threading in. Pretty sure I am holding it tight enough to seal but not sure how to tell for certain. Thoughts? attached is a picture of the plugs (which I will be replacing with NGKs or ACs).
