I sprayed WD-40 in the cylinders of an 85 hp that had been sitting for about four years. Will this harm the engine in any way?
I also did a compression test and got steady readings of 103 to 105 psi on all three cylinders. Is the psi ok? I used a tester that I got from HF for $26. Is this a decent tester or would I get more accurate readings from a better tester?
I don't even know if I'm going to use this motor. I have a 125 hp hanging on the boat that I have not even tried anything with yet.
Any opinions on the 85 and 125? The 85 is a 1984 and the 125 is a 1986.
The weather is changing and I need to get one of these running so I can get in the water. I don't think the trolling motor will be enough by itself.
