Re: johnson 140 compression problems

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that help me out on my 140.I carried it to the shop yesurday and had a used 115 powerhead put on and it runs great with 152-155 psi compression .Will carry out tommorrow on the water.My 140 was built by a man that didnt care evidently.The piston was burnt caused by excessive tolerances in the cylinder.he should have bored it but i geuss he wanted to save some money and take a chance.Thanks Again.
