Hey guys,
I just picked up a cobra 1804 with a 1990 Force 120 outboard on it. The compression tested is 145,145,120,145. The motor idles well and runs well on the top end. There is a vibration coming on plane at about 3000 rpm when the motor is under load. The motor hasn't been put in the water in about 8 years according to the previous owner. I ran about 4 gallons through the motor this weekend with sea foam in the tank but didnt see a change in the compression readings. Just wondering it if warrants pulling the cylinder head or not??
