I have a 1989 evinrude V4 110 hp. When i got it the pistons were fried and also blown head gasket. I honed out the cylinders put in new piston and rings, polished the crank but no new seals for crank. I also cleaned the carburators twice but didnt put new kits in yet. Im still having a problem with low compression on all 4 cylinders 1-60psi 2-55 3-60 4-60. What else can cause low compression? Primer solenoid is ok but i have to use Ether while feathering the throttle to start it and when its running at about 1500-2000 rpms it runs ok, but anything less than that it dies. timings good at about 24 degrees BTDC. I really didnt look closely at the leave valves but i can if its suggested.. I normally work on cars but this is my first marine motor. I have a manual but it doesnt answer all of my questions. . Any pointers or advice would be much appreciated.. thanks in advanced.
