91 evinrude 60hp vro

[hgxsilver]

Hey everyone, I was given a 91evinrude 60hp vro from my uncle which he got from someone awhile ago. I’m unaware if it runs, but seems in good condition. I was told that he had filled the cylinders full of oil for some reason, I was not very happy to hear about that. Could possibly be due to it being sitting in his yard. I finally got the motor up on a mount and noticed that it is very easy to spin the motor by hand. I need to drain the oil before trying to start but might this have caused the easy rotation that I’m getting?

thanks

Are the sparkplugs in there ?

 

[hgxsilver]

Yes. It looks fine but I’m just hoping it’s something else besides a head gasket or something

What does " very easy " mean ?----How does it crank with the starter motor ?

 

[hgxsilver]

I mean I can turn the flywheel without encountering any compression bumps at all. I have yet to start it. Need to flush the oil out.

Do a compression test now.
