Hi,
I read that I should wOT when doing compression test. I have a standard throttle contol handle where you push it forward to put it in foward and push it further to increase the throttle. I also know that I shouldn't crank an engine in gear, so if I WOT it during compression test, will it do any damage or will it be ok because it won't fire up? boat is a 83 16ft Invader with a 90 hp v4 evinrude.
another question on electricals. One of the wires that connects between the main connector (sitting on the port side) and the terminal block(on starboard), its length is pinched tightly around the 2 banks of cylinder head( it's too short to route it below the heads). the wire currently is wrapped in insulation tape, I suspect the original vinyl tubing is already melted. what can i do about it? should I extend it by cutting the connector off of the terminal end and attach a section of wire to it, what gauge wire do I need? do i some kind of "marine" connector? I know I should rubber dip it. do I need to wrap it with those expensive heat-shrink tubing from west marine or just some vinyl tubing will do?
thanks
