Hi I trying to test the compression on my evinrude fleetwin 7,5 hp motor . Im not getting a reading from the gage i got from autozone . Im wondering is the gage special for testing compression on outboard motors . I thought the one you use for automotive should work for the reading . I turned the pull start like 4 or 5 times and no reading . It it I have no compresion . The gage will goto 30and then back to 0 .should I get a read of some pressure of some kind . I am also getting a oil in the water thats black in color . is that noromal for running your engine in a tank or garbage can . My nieghbor told me I should not get any oil like that in the water at all . If I place my finger by the hole I get some pressure but not alot of it . that maybe why Im have a hard time starting the motor . But from that I gat see in the holes the cyclinders dont look torn up from bad rings . Im not for sure . But is it normial for oil in the water them your runnin it in a garbage can . It not the lower unit The oil is fine . I checked that . If I have bad ring can I rebuild it and will it cost me alot of money to do . If I can do it for under 100.00 then Ill do it .
