The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
How does one do a compression test. Do you just buy a guadge at Autozone/checker etc and screw it into the spark plug terminal and rotate the flywheel? I have a 1977 Evinrude 115.
Remove all the spark plugs. Use a good, hot battery, put gauge in each hole in turn and hit starter for 2-3 revolutions or until guage stops rising.<br /><br />Or, follow the instructions that come with the guage.
Also Autozone has a tool loan program whereby you put a deposit down on the tool and get your money back when you return the tool in the same condition as you got it. Comes in pretty handy if its a tool you're not likely to use often.
