Hey Guys...
Im thinking of buying a 72 Glastron inboard with a 130hp Volvo that hasnt been run in 3 years..
just had some questions..
the owner really has no mechanical experience
Its been winterized..so im assuming there is no oil in the case? is that usually the case?
1)What kind of oil does it take so i can try to start it?
2)Does it require a boot for water cooling to start it on land? or is there another type of input for water cooling..or maybe it isnt water cooled at all? mmm I dont know..It is a 4 stroke though it has seperate oil and gas. need help with this one.
3)What kind of compression values am i looking for when testing the compression.
4) any other issues I should try to look for with this motor
Thanks Again in Advance for your help
