Re: wanted advice on a craigs list 89 120hp evinrude to buy or not
Well, the compression numbers are good, but, how was the compression test done without the ignition key? If it were me, I would bypass the switch (hot wire) and see if it'll run before dropping 600 on it. If you buy it without hearing it run and seeing the actual compression test done, be prepared, you can drop another 600 on it in a real hurry. Personally, I would probably buy it and fix it myself, but, I can't advice you to do the same.
